I bought a new container of protein powder last week and have been dreaming up recipes with it ever since. Some of them, okay MOST of them flop.
But this afternoon I threw this Clean Eating Crepe Recipe together and it was good!
Protein Crepe Stuffed with PB and Cinnamon Recipe
For the Crepe: 1 scoop protein powder ( I used Muscle Milk Banana Whey), 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 Tb almond milk.
Filling: 1 heaping TB Peanut Butter, 1 TB maple syrup, cinnamon. Mix.
Directions: Mix crepe ingredients. Heat pan and spray with non-stick. Cook crepe. Flip carefully as it’s thin.
When it’s done place on a plate and spread with the Cinnamon PB filling. I added more cinnamon because I love it.
Roll it up. Eat.
Enjoy.

Has anyone tried this using a while egg instead of egg whites? Wondering why the decision to use the white only – in my regular crepes I use the whole egg!

I’m willing to try protein powder in just about anything. This sounds great and I hope to try it out next week. 😉 Also shared it on my blog! http://www.noordinaryhomestead.com/6-clean-quick-recipes-to-curb-the-hunger-recipe-roundup-1/

Beth @ Read Hard Run Harder says
Yum. How do you come up with all these awesome ideas? I think I am kitchen challenged; I eat the same things over and over and over.
Ashley @ Eat Run Live Happy says
That would be amazing with a slice or two of bacon in it. I’m digging the sweet and salty tastes lately. And I believe in my heart that bacon (turkey or regular) makes everything better.
Julie @ RDelicious Kitchen says
totally making this recipe with chocolate protein powder .. anything chocolate peanut butter is delicious!!
Elizabeth @ Positive Changes says
Such a great idea! I am going to try this for my snack this afternoon!
Regan @ Cabot Creamery says
Wow. Never would’ve thought to use protein powder for crepes. What a great idea. Could be an awesome wrapper for breakfast for my hubs. He’s always wanting a “breakfast sandwich” type meal on his way out the door, but isn’t a bread fan. Love this idea.
runeatrepeat says
The crepe is sweet because of the protein powder, so I’m not sure he would like that unless he already likes salty sweet combos (I totally do though)!
Sonia Campos says
Please explain this to me but how in the world is this considered “clean eating”?! It has protein powder!
Sara says
I was wondering that too. I mean, one of the ingredients listed in the powder is “artificial flavor”…
runeatrepeat says
I consider clean eating no junk food, extra sugar or processed flour. I guess it’s not as clean as your definition 🙂
Sara says
Yeah, I thought the big ideas behind “clean eating” were eating whole foods and avoiding anything processed. But I guess not everyone has the same definition.
runeatrepeat says
I do think clean eating is mostly whole foods, but I don’t avoid ALL processed foods. I just do my best to balance my tastes / cravings while trying to eat healthy. I know protein powder is processed, but I’m okay with that 🙂
Thanks for chiming in nicely 🙂
nicole says
this sounds so easy and looks so good! the thought of cinnamon and eggs makes me cringe a little, but it’s a recipe to place on my “to-do” list 🙂

Yum, nicely done. I just bought protein powder for the first time in many years…
Charlotte says
I have always been interested in baking with protein powder but I am always nervous about getting the right texture. This recipes looks great and I would love to try it! What is the texture like?
runeatrepeat says
It’s a little drier than usual flour in most recipes and can sometimes be rubbery if overcooked. It might take some time to get used to.
Victoria @ Reluctantly Skinny says
good idea – always looking for quick ways to get more protein…especially without eating mean!
colleen says
You’re so creative! Ummm, I’ve never had a crepe!?! I’ve also never had protein powder!?!
Sarah says
Dang girl, you do love some protein powder. Are you releasing a protein powder cook book? I think you might almost have enough recipes.
I try to avoid eating the stuff because most of it contains free glutamates. I have some leftover Jillian Michael’s kind in my cupboard that might be worth the (literal) headache though… tastes like cake batter. It would be delicious in this recipe.
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I know. I’m not even doing it on purpose I just keep thinking up protein recipes when I’m hungry.
Stephanie says
How come I can’t make a crepe like that? I tried in a cooking class and failed. Also, I know you added protein powder, but that looks like the most delicious, fluffiest crepe ever. Lastly, my friend had a party and had a crepe station there. It was the best.thing.ever.

OOoh I love finding new ways to incorporate protein into my foods! This is a great idea.
