Gluten Free Protein Crepes
First let me start by saying, I'm completely aware that these are Not paleo. However, this is my journey, sometimes it's all paleo and other times it's just a healthier alternative to junk but all my recipes are gluten free.... I've spent years in bondage to eating rules and I'm over it! I eat good! When I "cheat" it's mochi, not McDonalds! Lol.
This crepe recipe is honestly my kids favorite breakfast to have! And it beats the crap out of a pop tart. Now, the real disclaimer is, this recipe is tricky. It takes a bit of cooking sense and tweaking every time! I've been cooking gluten free for years so I've just about mastered it (great now I've jinxed myself!) I'm going to share the base of the recipe then add some tricks!
In your vitamix or blender add in this order
1 cup of cottage cheese (I use 2%)
1 cup GF oats (not quick)
1 cup of...crack 2 eggs in cup then fill the rest of the way with egg whites
1 tbs vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbs water
Blend until completely smooth
Have medium skillet (no stick) heated on med/high. I use a paper towel with a little olive/coconut oil on it and wipe the skillet between crepes. Too much oil and the crepe will slide around hold skillet in one hand and blender in the other... Pour and swirl! Not too thick! After a period of time the batter will thicken, if it becomes too thick add 1 Tbs water at a time. Flip after about 2 min. I'm going to add a you tube video to make it easier to understand.
I fill the crepes with fruit and homemade whipped cream. My kids also enjoy chocolate syrup. Enjoy!
