Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar or preferred sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (56g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • 2 oz (56g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • 1. Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry, whisking until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight.
  • 2. Cook the Crepes: Heat an 8-inch non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter, swirling to coat thinly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges are golden and surface is set. Flip and cook for 30-60 seconds more. Transfer to a plate and cover. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • 3. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until a thick paste forms.
  • 4. Assemble the Crepes: Lay a cooked crepe flat. Spread a thin layer of cinnamon-sugar filling over the entire surface.
  • 5. Roll and Glaze: Tightly roll the crepe into a log. Place seam-side down on a serving plate. Repeat for all crepes.
  • 6. Prepare the Glaze: Whisk softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tbsp milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add more milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until drizzling consistency is reached.
  • 7. Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the rolled cinnamon roll protein crepes and serve immediately.
