Ingredients You Need

Eggs: eggs work better for these protein crepes as I found that using just egg whites they didn’t hold together as well (due to the fact that there is no flour or binder).

Collagen powder: the cleanest source of protein and an easy way to boost your protein intake. Learn more about the difference between collagen powder and protein powder.

Tapioca flour: this helps hold the crepes together, don't skip it or you'll have broken pieces of mess. Tapioca is a starch that derives from the cassave plant and thus it's completely accepted on the whole30 diet.

Optional: vanilla extract this just gives the crepes recipe a more traditional and comforting feel to them. If you want sweeter crepes use ½ teaspoon of vanilla stevia.

You’ll notice that these protein crepes don’t have sugar added to them as traditional crepes do. This is because I prefer to have my sweetness in the form of filling or toppings rather than in my crepes themselves.

How To Make Protein Crepes

1. Preheat a non-stick pan (and spray with oil as needed) to below medium heat.
2. In a bowl beat the eggs and vanilla (if using) with a handheld mixer.
3. Slowly add in the collagen and tapioca powder while you continue beating.
4. Whip for 1-2 minutes so everything is mixed and fluffly.
5. Portion half the batter into the pan and wait for the middle to bubble.
6. Use a silicone spatula to flip the protein crepe and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
7. Re-spray the pan and repeat with the other half of the batter.

Choosing Collagen Powder

It’s no surprise that these protein crepes are made with collagen powder!

All the protein without the bloat.

I use collagen powder for amping up protein and boosting gut health.

Learn about the difference between collagen and bone broth as how to increase protein intake.

Honestly, as a busy mom collagen powder just makes it easy to eat more protein and not feel like I’m living off chicken and eggs.

And more protein means more energy, more natural beauty, and feeling your BEST.

Plus, in recipes like this, you can sneak protein into your kids as it’s one of the purest sources.

I grab my collagen from Perfect Supplements because they source their collagen from pasture-raised (grass-fed) cows. So, I trust it.

Grab some collagen powder and use code mamabear10 to save some money.

Important Tips To Make The Protein Crepes Perfectly

Make sure to spray your pan with non-stick spray in between batches or you’ll never get the crepes off.

Use a handheld mixer to beat the eggs, otherwise the collagen powder ends up chunky and that chunkiness will last through the cooking.

High protein crepes (any crepes) are super delicate. Use a thin silicone spatula to flip them and be very careful.

Also, let them cook before flipping way longer than you think (about ten or more minutes). This helps you be better able to flip them.

The crepes themselves aren’t sweet as I prefer to add sweetness in or on the crepes. However, if you want to sweeten them use ½ teaspoon vanilla stevia in place of regular vanilla extract.

Make sure not to spread the batter or swirl the pan when you pour the crepe mix, it will create super thin spots and they’ll fall apart.

The Best Toppings

The best part about this protein crepes recipe is that you can top or fill them any way you like! Some of our favorites to mix and match are:

• Fresh fruit (any and all)
• 2-minute whole30 whipped cream
• Dairy-free caramel sauce
• Straight nut butter
• Dairy-free chocolate ganache
• Sprinkles cinnamon
• Vanilla coconut yogurt

I personally use these as an everyday breakfast just with some fruit and maple syrup. However, for something like an indulgent brunch I dress them up more. This breakfast chia pudding parfait is great for that too!
