Healthy Crepes

It’s a lot easier to enjoy a guilt-free crepe than you probably would assume. When it comes to the classic desserts, it’s all about the substitutions. Here is a list of some standard swaps I always go by:

• Applesauce instead of butter
• Agave, stevia, or honey instead of white refined sugar
• Oat or coconut flour instead of white flour
• Plain Greek yogurt instead of cream

 

I ate these delicious crepes in the morning, but they would be a great post work out snack because of the additional protein!

 Recipe:

½ cup liquid egg whites

1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (I used vanilla hemp protein)

1 tbs of applesauce

1 tbs of baking stevia

½ tsp of baking powder

½ tbs of coconut flour

1 tsp of cacao or cocoa powder

Sprinkle of cinnamon

 

Mix all the ingredients together and pour desired size onto a heated pan. Since they are so thin, it’s only necessary to cook on one side.

Ingredients for filling:

I mixed a tablespoon of raw creamy peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt and some chia seeds. I spread that on my warm crepe, drizzled some more agave, and then rolled it up!  Enjoy!
