• 1 cup Liquid Egg Whites: The base for our protein-packed crepe. Trust me, the texture it creates is fantastic!
• 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder: Whey, casein, or a blend works. I like to use whey protein isolate. It adds a hint of sweetness and a serious protein punch to our cinnamon roll protein crepes!
• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce: This keeps things moist and adds a touch of natural sweetness.
• 1 tbsp Cinnamon: The heart and soul of our cinnamon roll flavor. Don’t skimp!
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg: Adds a warm, cozy depth to the cinnamon roll flavor.
• 1/4 tsp Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the other flavors.
• 2 tbsp Coconut Flour: This will help to thicken our protein crepe batter just slightly.
• 1/4 cup Cottage Cheese: Adding cottage cheese will change the texture of the crepe. It adds moisture and tang. Be sure to check out Cottage Cheese Crepes- Amee’s Savory Dish.

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

• 2 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil: This adds richness and helps create that irresistible swirl.
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar: The key to that classic cinnamon roll gooiness.
• 1 tbsp Cinnamon: More cinnamon, more flavor!

For the “Cream Cheese” Glaze:

• 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt: Tangy and creamy, just like cream cheese frosting.
• 2 tbsp Powdered Erythritol: A sugar-free sweetener that dissolves easily.
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract: Enhances the sweetness and adds a touch of warmth.

The secret to epic cinnamon roll protein crepes is using good quality cinnamon. You’ll find amazing Ceylon cinnamon at most spice shops. It’s delicate and complex. You can often source what you need from Trader Joes, or Wholefoods. Splurge on the vanilla extract – it makes a huge difference! I find that the darker the vanilla, the more intense the flavor.

Remember, your ingredients are your paintbrushes. Don’t be afraid to experiment! If you’re feeling wild, add a pinch of cardamom to the cinnamon swirl. This cinnamon roll protein crepes game-changer will blow your mind. You could also substitute agave for the brown sugar.

Alright, flavor adventurers, let’s get down to business! This is where the magic happens, and your cinnamon roll protein crepes dreams come to life. Don’t stress, your cinnamon roll protein crepes is going to be incredible!

1. Blend the Crepe Batter: In a blender, combine the egg whites, protein powder, applesauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and coconut flour. Blend until smooth. This will create the base for your high protein crepes. Pro tip for cinnamon roll protein crepes perfection: let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to fully absorb the liquid.
2. Mix the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. This will create that irresistible cinnamon roll flavor. The consistency should be a thick paste. If it’s too runny, add a bit more brown sugar.
3. Heat the Pan: Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. The pan is hot enough when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. In my kitchen, this cinnamon roll protein crepes takes exactly 2 minutes to heat the pan!
4. Pour and Swirl: Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter onto the hot pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin circle. Immediately drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the crepe, using a toothpick or skewer to create a swirl pattern. Here’s where most people mess up their cinnamon roll protein crepes – but not you! Make sure your pan is hot enough, or the crepe will stick.
5. Cook the Crepe: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The edges should start to lift slightly from the pan. Your cinnamon roll protein crepes should look/smell like a warm cinnamon roll dream!
6. Make the Glaze: While the crepe is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or milk.
7. Assemble and Enjoy: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Spread the “cream cheese” glaze over the top. This is where your cinnamon roll protein crepes transforms into pure magic. While your cinnamon roll protein crepes is working its magic, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold!
