Description
These Keto Protein Crepes are a quick and easy low-carb breakfast option perfect for those following a ketogenic or high-protein diet. Made with egg whites and whey protein, they offer a fluffy, satisfying texture with just a hint of sweetness from powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Cooked gently in butter for a golden-brown finish, these crepes are delicious on their own or paired with your favorite low-carb toppings.
Ingredients
Crepe Batter
- 3 large egg whites
- 5 tbsp (31g) whey protein powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp powdered sweetener
For Cooking
- 1 tsp butter (divided, for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, whey protein powder, vanilla extract, and powdered sweetener. Blend thoroughly for about 1 minute until the mixture is fluffy and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Heat the pan and add batter: Melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan or skillet (approximately 20cm in diameter) over medium heat. Pour in half of the batter, tilting and rotating the pan immediately to spread the batter evenly, covering the entire bottom surface.
- Cook the first side: Let the crepe cook for about 45 seconds on medium heat, or until the underside becomes golden brown.
- Flip and cook the second side: Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the crepe over and cook the other side for an additional 45 seconds until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat the process: Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter to the pan, melt it, then cook the second crepe with the remaining batter in the same manner.
- Serve: Once both crepes are cooked, serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly toppings or enjoy them plain.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan for best results to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Whey protein isolate works best for a smooth texture in the batter.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your stove heat to avoid burning.
- These crepes are excellent for adding keto-friendly fillings like cream cheese, berries, or sugar-free syrups.
- Make sure the pan is properly heated before adding batter for an even cook.
