This recipe uses Body Nutrition Trutein protein powder (ideal texture and taste for baking). If you don’t have chocolate protein powder available, other flavors work as well. I recommend checking out Vanilla Bean, Cookies & Cream, or Red Velvet Cake. Trutein is a blend of whey, egg, and casein protein. You may need to adjust the amount of milk and cooking time with a different type of protein.
This recipe scales up well if you want to make a heap of crepes. Store the extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Separate each crepe with parchment paper, and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
Adjust the macros for these cocoa protein crepes by changing up the toppings and fillings. For more protein, spread on nonfat Greek yogurt. Add more fruit for additional carbs. For fats, spread on nut butter. Peanut butter and banana would be a great combo.
