Protein Crepes With Apple Pumpkin Protein Filling #MyGoodEnergy

These last couple of years, after the first weekend in September, we become a house divided! I am not sure if it’s the changing weather, or all the football talk, or the anticipation leading up to turning our clocks back an hour – but September has my daughter and I having trouble seeing eye to eye. You see, she loves crepes and I adore pancakes!

It always boggles my mind how a tad bit of melted butter can change how my daughter regards a mix of flour, eggs, milk, sweetener, and salt. Even when she was a wee little one and could barely reach the counter-top, she would sneak crepes off the plate as I made them – a behavior she still proudly carries on now (hence the lonesome 2 crepes in these photographs). Speaking of what goes into crepes, I was surprised to learn that in the middle ages, crepes were made with a mix of wine and water instead of milk!

On those weekend mornings when we plan on getting out of the house early to go hiking, I know that the only thing that will have my daughter not acting like a bear mid-hibernation is the smell and sound of crepes cooking! And, me being me, I have to make sure that the crepes I feed her have something good in them.

So, I made these with Premier Protein’s vanilla shake and even sneaked some protein shake into the filling! I also used coconut oil instead of butter and she didn’t even know these were good for her!

  3. Crepes! Man, I haven’t made crepes in forever. I clearly need to get over that as these look delicious, Shashi! And those pomegranate seeds… So let’s reach a compromise between you and lil Shashi. You can make me some pancakes. She can make me some crepes. Everyone wins! 🙂

    1. Allie you are welcome ANYTIME! I would love to make you some of these – though, my daughter is a quick eater – she always manages to sneak more in than I do as I am a slow eater – So, you’d have to practice eating super fast!! 🙂
