BANANAS N’ CREAM CREPE ROLL-UPS
Ingredients
CREPE
¼ cup Muscle Egg plain or vanilla egg whites (or 2 regular egg whites)
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 TB water
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch cinnamon
1 large banana
FILLING
1/4 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
pinch salt
1 packet sweetener
DRIZZLE
Sugar-free chocolate syrup (optional)
How to Prepare
1. Put whites, protein powder, water, vanilla and cinnamon into a blender. Blend until smooth (if you don’t have a blender, you can use a whisk, but be sure to blend very well until batter is completely smooth).
2. Coat 10-inch skillet (or larger) with non-stick cooking spray and put over medium-high heat.
3. The KEY here is technique! Pour the batter onto the skillet and swirl all around to cover the bottom of the pan in a very thin layer. After approximately 2 minutes, or once it starts to bubble and bottom is golden brown, flip crepe over and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds or until underside is golden brown.
4. Put crepe onto plate and let cool for a few minutes. In the meantime, mix the filling by combining Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, salt, and sweetener in a bowl and mix well until nice and smooth.
5. Spread evenly onto cooled crepe. Peel the banana and place along the edge of the crepe. Fold the crepe up tightly over the banana and roll firmly with your fingers to create the banana-filled roll-up. Slice it into bite-size pieces and enjoy! Optional: drizzle with sugar-free chocolate syrup for an added treat.
