Easy Homemade Raspberry High Protein Crepes Recipe
What is a Crepe?
A crepe is a type of thin pancake made from wheat flour that's usually cooked quickly on both sides in butter or oil. However, you can use other types of flours, like almond flour or cassava flour. I like using a plant-based vanilla protein powder for this recipe because it allows the macros to be higher in protein.
Are Crêpes Really French?
The answer is yes, but crepes are also eaten in countries like Belgium and Switzerland.
