Substitution Options
Feeling a bit adventurous in the kitchen? No worries, I’ve got options for you! Swap out the self-rising flour, experiment with gluten-free alternatives, or throw in some flavored protein powder for an extra twist. The kitchen is your playground, my friend!
- Gluten-Free Alternative: Swap the self-rising flour with a gluten-free alternative for those seeking a gluten-free version. This ensures these high-protein crepes remain inclusive for various dietary preferences.
- Flavored Protein Powder: Inject a burst of flavor by experimenting with different flavored protein powders. Whether it’s vanilla, chocolate, or even a fruity twist, this substitution allows for a creative twist in the crepe batter. But me mindful of it’s sweetness, adjust the syrup accordingly.
- Regular Milk: If you prefer a classic touch, feel free to substitute protein plant milk with regular milk. This switch maintains the creamy consistency while accommodating personal taste preferences.
- Brewed Coffee: If cold brew concentrate is not at your disposal, brewed coffee can step in to still give you that delicious coffee-infused notes. Ensure it’s strong enough to maintain the robust coffee flavor in both the batter and filling.

How to Make Your High-Protein Tiramisu Crepes
Time to roll up our sleeves and dive into the step-by-step process of crafting these delectable, quick and easy, High-Protein Tiramisu Crepes. Follow along, and let the kitchen magic unfold:
Whisk & Combine
In a mixing bowl, crack open the large brown egg. Whisk it until it’s light and frothy. Pour in the 160ml of protein plant milk for that dairy-free protein boost, followed by the 20ml of robust cold brew concentrate infusing a coffee kick.
Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract for sweetness and aroma, followed by the unflavored protein powder (28g or 1 scoop from Quest) to amp up the protein content. Incorporate the self-rising flour (15g from King Arthur) for that perfect light and airy texture.
Drizzle in 10ml of sugar-free syrup (Mrs Butterworths) to balance the sweetness without the guilt. Whisk until you have a smooth batter that tantalizes the senses.
Low and Golden
Heat up a medium nonstick pan and give it a quick spray with coconut oil. Pour 1/4th of the batter into the pan on low heat, moving the pan around to create a large, thin circle.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip the crepe to achieve a delightful golden hue on both sides.
Yogurt Filling Magic
While the crepes are cooking, let’s whip up the velvety yogurt filling. In a small bowl, mix 85g of nonfat Greek yogurt (Siggi’s), 10ml of cold brew concentrate, and 10ml of sugar-free syrup. Ensure a thorough blend to create a creamy, coffee-infused filling.
Finishing Touch
Once the crepes are ready, spread the yogurt filling evenly inside each one. Roll them up, leaving a small dollop of the filling behind for the finishing touch.
Top the crepes with the remaining yogurt dollop, an additional drizzle of sugar-free syrup, and a generous sprinkle of cacao powder (1/2 tbsp). This final touch adds a visual and flavorful enhancement to your creation.
Now, step back and admire your culinary prowess. You’ve just mastered the art of creating High Protein Tiramisu Crepes – a breakfast masterpiece that’s both delightful and nutritious. Enjoy every creamy, coffee-infused bite!
