Instructions
- Prepare Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, sugar (if using), and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually add wet to dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let rest 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Cook Crepes: Heat a lightly greased non-stick crepe pan over medium-low heat. Pour ¼ cup batter, swirl to coat. Cook 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate and cover.
- Make Cinnamon Filling: Combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable.
- Assemble Crepes: Spread 1-2 tbsp filling evenly over each crepe. Roll tightly into a cylinder.
- Prepare Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. If using cream cheese, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add other glaze ingredients. Drizzle over crepes and serve immediately.
