Healthy Crepes

It’s a lot easier to enjoy a guilt-free crepe than you probably would assume. When it comes to the classic desserts, it’s all about the substitutions. Here is a list of some standard swaps I always go by:

• Applesauce instead of some of the oil and sweetener since it has a natural sweetness to it

• Maple syrup, honey, stevia, or monk fruit instead of white refined sugar

• Oat or coconut flour instead of white flour

• Coconut cream or non dairy yogurt instead of heavy whipping cream 

I ate these delicious crepes in the morning, but they would be a great post work out snack because of the additional protein!

 Recipe:

½ cup liquid egg whites

1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (I used vanilla hemp protein)

1 tbs of applesauce

1 tbs of baking stevia

½ tsp of baking powder

½ tbs of coconut flour

1 tsp of cacao

Sprinkle of cinnamon

Mix all the ingredients together and pour desired size onto a heated pan. Since they are so thin, it’s only necessary to cook on one side.

Ingredients for filling:

I mixed a tablespoon of raw creamy almond butter with 1 tablespoon of non dairy vanilla yogurt and some chia seeds. I spread that on my warm crepe, drizzled a little bit of honey, and then rolled it up!  Enjoy!
