What You’ll Need
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of almond flour
- 1/4 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil or cooking spray for greasing the pan
For the Topping:
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream or Greek yogurt
- Crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
How To Make It
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, vanilla protein powder, eggs, almond flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Pour a small amount of the batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
- Once all the crepes are cooked, it's time to assemble your Banana Shortcake Protein Crepes. Place a crepe on a serving plate and layer it with sliced strawberries. Add a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt on top and sprinkle with crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining crepes, strawberries, whipped cream or yogurt, and cookie crumbs.
- Serve the Banana Shortcake Protein Crepes immediately and enjoy!
Bonus Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, you can add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crepe batter.
- Feel free to customize your toppings based on your preferences. You can add sliced bananas, blueberries, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
