Grain-Free Protein Crepes
I recently traveled to writing retreat in Texas. The hostess was very accommodating, and made sure that I had gluten-free meals throughout the week.
On the way back, I didn't have as much luck. The airport I was in had almost no gluten-free options, other than some prepackaged snacks.
One of the restaurants served crepes all day long. The smell of vanilla crepes filled the airport, and I wanted nothing more than to go home and make these Grain-Free Protein Crepes.
These protein crepes only use a couple of ingredients, so they are super easy to whip up.
Protein Crepes
This grain-free protein crepes recipe is extremely easy. It uses three ingredients: protein powder, eggs, and dairy-free milk. That's it. And this protein recipe is hard to mess up.
The key is making sure you use a non-stick pan and lightly coat it with cooking spray. If you do that, you're golden!
Just a note, you don't have to use dairy-free milk in this grain-free protein crepe recipe. You can use regular milk, or your milk of choice.
Just make sure it's not full fat otherwise the protein crepe batter will be too thick to spread.
I've made these protein crepes with ham and cheese, I've made them with nut butter and bananas, and I've made them using fresh whipped coconut cream and strawberries.
You can fill these grain-free crepes with your favorite ingredients, or make a wrap out of them. They do have a slight vanilla flavor from the protein powder, but it's not overwhelming, and savory fillings still taste incredible.
Grain-Free Crepes
I love OWYN products. Their protein powders come in containers and travel size packets. I first made this recipe while traveling and instantly fell in love.
The individual packets were perfectly proportioned to make this recipe and they fit easily in my luggage.
The protein powder helps give these grain-free crepes a boost, and also helps to minimize the ingredients needed to make them.
And of course between the protein powder and the eggs you are getting a good amount of protein per grain-free crepe.
You can use your protein powder of choice when making these protein crepes. I just personally like to use OWYN.

Since most stores carry eggs and dairy-free milk (or regular milk), you can make these grain-free protein crepes anywhere! We love traveling to Europe and it's hard to find gluten-free crepes in most parts of the country.
With all of our travels, we've only found gluten-free crepes once (in the Swiss Alps). We are definitely bringing protein powder with us for now on, to enjoy as a drink and to make these grain-free crepes.
Whether you are living a gluten-free or dairy-free lifestyle these Grain-Free Crepes are for you.
This recipe makes 4 large Grain-Free Protein Crepes but the recipe can be doubled or tripled. You can also store any leftover protein crepes in the refrigerator or freezer.
How to make protein crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Spray pan with olive oil or oil of choice.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Pour ⅓ cup of batter into the pan and swirl until the batter spreads.
- Cook until the underside of crepe is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Loosen the edges of the crepe with a rubber spatula then carefully flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes or until done.
- Fill with your favorite ingredients and enjoy.
I usually make up 4 or 5 batches of these protein crepes at a time and place them in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast, or an after-school snack for my kids.
My kids don't know that they're made with protein powder. Making grain-free crepes with protein powder is a great way to sneak in extra protein and vitamins.

OMG... Ahhhh-mazing! I just stumbled onto your blog from a GF donut link and was checking out your other recipes. I had to make this AS SOOON AS I saw it!!! I used Hemp Yeah! powder, jumbo eggs and 2% milk, and meant to save some for later, but just polished off the entire recipe (3 big crepes), two of them without even any topping. Mmmm. So. Good. This is absolutely going to go into the weekend breakfast rotation!!! Weeknight dinner sometimes, too.
Thank you for sharing this gem. Great site.

I'm so glad you like them 🙂 Thank you for sharing what you used.

Warning to anyone trying this: pea protein (or blends with it) will make the batter WAY too thick. I thinned mine out with water (maybe 1/3 cup) and they're still more like pancakes. Flavor's fine, though!
chrystal
Hi Rae,
Can you share with me which protien powder you used? I used OWYN witch is a pea protien blend. I'm wondering if the one you used had a higher amount of pea protien in it. Thanks for sharing!
Best,
Chrystal
