Make strawberry crepes with protein powder!

Skip the pancakes this weekend and try these Strawberry Protein Crepes made with Four Sigmatic plant-based protein or any protein powder you like. They’re as easy to make as pancakes but have a thinner consistency so you can stuff them with strawberries and cream. With everyone trying to increase their protein lately, this is a fun way to eat more protein for breakfast.

Happy Cooking!

Strawberry Protein Crepes Ingredients

Ingredients to make strawberries and cream protein crepes.
  • Protein powder: I’m using plant-based Four Sigmatic protein powder, which has a great texture to add to baked goods like these protein crepes. It’s not gritty, grainy, or sandy. It’s a smooth protein blend without gums or fillers! I swapped some of the flour in the crepe recipe for the protein powder.
  • Dry ingredients: All-purpose flour, cornstarch, and granulated sugar.
  • Wet ingredients: Almond milk and coconut oil.
  • Fresh strawberries: For serving!

How to Make Strawberry Protein Crepes

Flour, cornstarch and sugar, milk, oil and protein powder in a bowl before mixing.
Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the Four Sigmatic protein powder and some of the water. Whisk until the powder dissolves. Then, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and sugar. Add the protein powder mixture, the rest of the water, almond milk, and coconut oil.
After mixing.
Step 2: Whisk until smooth. Some lumps are okay!

Step 4: Cook until the batter sets in the middle.

Step 5: Flip over and cook the other side until bubbles form. Remove it from the pan and repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve warm.

Ingredients
 
 

  • ¼ cup vegan protein powder
  • 1 cup sparkling water OR regular water divided
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted, plus more for frying
  • Strawberries for serving
  • Vanilla coconut yogurt for serving

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the protein powder and ¼ cup sparkling water. Whisk until the protein powder dissolves.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and sugar. Add the protein powder mixture, remaining sparkling water, almond milk, and coconut oil. Whisk well until smooth and well combined.
  • Heat more coconut oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter into the pan. Immediately lift the pan and rotate it carefully to move the batter into a thin circle.
  • Cook until the batter sets in the middle, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe over and cook for 30 more seconds until bubbles form. Remove from the pan and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Serve with strawberries and vanilla coconut yogurt, if desired.

Notes

My Top Tip: Use sparkling water instead of tap water. The bubbles in the sparkling water give the crepes a light and fluffy texture. Just be sure to use flavorless sparkling water and to keep it closed until right before you use it.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last for 3–4 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes.
Freezing: Cool the crepes, then place them between layers of parchment or wax paper, and put them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. You can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, place in the microwave for 1–2 minutes or in the oven at 350ºF until they’re hot and heated through, about 5–7 minutes.
Recipe: I adapted this from Nora Cooks, but I added protein powder and made a couple of minor tweaks.

Recipe Variations

  • Find your favorite folding method: Once you add your strawberries and coconut yogurt filling, there are a few different ways to fold and serve your crepes. There’s the triangle method of folding the crepe in half, then folding it in half again. You can roll it like a burrito. Or, you can fold the edges in toward the center to make a square. Any method works!
  • Try different fillings: I love stuffing these protein crepes with strawberries and coconut yogurt, but you can use any flavor combination, like bananas and peanut butter, or classic lemon juice and powdered sugar. You can even go savory, like mushroom and caramelized onion, or smoked salmon and cream cheese.
  • Make dessert crepes: Serve the protein crepes with hazelnut spread and ice cream for a sweet treat.

Recipe Tips

  1. Use sparkling water instead of tap water. The bubbles in the sparkling water give the crepes a light and fluffy texture. Just be sure to use flavorless sparkling water and to keep it closed until right before you use it.
  2. Dissolve the Four Sigmatic protein powder in water by itself. If you mix the protein powder with the melted coconut oil before dissolving it in water, the texture could get cakey.
  3. Use room-temperature ingredients. If any of them are cold, the coconut oil could solidify. If it does, just keep whisking until it smooths out.
  4. Don’t let your pan get too hot. If the skillet is on too high a heat, the water will evaporate quickly, and the batter will burn.

Serving Ideas

FAQs

How thick should my protein crepes be?

You only need a small amount of batter for each crepe; I use about ⅓ cup, which is just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. They’re supposed to be thin, not thick like American pancakes, and you should almost be able to see through them.

Do I need a special crepe pan to make crepes?

You can use a crepe pan if you have one, but it’s not necessary! A crepe pan has low sides, which makes flipping easier. But I usually make crepes in a regular non-stick pan.

    Gluten free sub?

    1. Yumna J. says:

      To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
