2-Ingredient Chocolate Protein Crepes with Bob's Red Mill

December 27, 2019 Brooke Lark
2019-12 Protein Crepes BRM.jpg

Two simple ingredients—egg whites and Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powder—whisked together and cooked in a skillet make the most marvelously simple crepes you’ve ever tasted. Added bonus, each serving has 25+ grams of protein! Plus probiotics, chia and only 2g of sugar.

It’s that time of year when I’m ready to simplify everything. Clean the holiday out of my house Kondo style. Toss everything in the fridge and replace it with only the best and purest ingredients. Eat just the barest minimum of healthy basics.

The abundance of this season is fun. But don’t you always feel the draw to get back to being the best you? Yeah, me too.

Part of dialing in my eating so I can fit BACK into the pants I wore just before Thanksgiving (thank you, Thanksgiving!) is eating a hefty punch of protein in the morning. And steering clear of sugars in the process.

So these 2-ingredient crepes are an all around winner. Egg whites and protein powder. That’s all you need. Whisk together and cook in a skillet for a tasty low-sugar, low-carb, high protein (25+ grams per crepe!) breakfast, snack or dessert. Then fill or top with all your favorites. Nut butter and banana. Hazelnut spread and berries. Yogurt and blueberries. There are so many ways to enjoy these simple crepes.

And yes! You can use any of the Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powder flavors. Try the vanilla or chai flavors with sour cream and a schmear of lingonberry jam or drizzle of coconut sugar and you’ll want every meal to be breakfast.

2-INGREDIENT PALEO PANCAKES

March 9, 2015 Brooke Lark

Whether you’re a paleo eater, a gluten-free eater, or just looking for a quick way to shake up your breakfast routine, this yummy recipe is a keeper. 

I first learned about 2-ingredient Paleo Pancakes a year or so ago, when I go serious about focusing on paleo-friendly food for my family. A long time baker and cupcake lover, I wasn’t sure I could live without those baked morning basics–French Toast, Pancakes, and Waffles. So happening upon a supremely simple recipe like this one here was a lifemaker. 

There are a lot of paleo pancake recipes out there. People have gotten all sorts of excited about the basic combo of bananas and eggs. But I like to stick to the basics. Why add 7 other ingredients when two simple ones make splendidly simple, totally delicious pancakes? Yeah. I agree. Two ingredients is brilliant enough. We don’t need to go bollocks it up with a bunch of other add-ins.

If you do want to play, however, this recipe is great with a sprinkle of cinnamon. A teaspoon of vanilla. Or a splash of fresh lemon juice. Boost the protein in your pancakes by adding 1/2 cup of almond flour and 1/4 cup of almond milk. Or, just keep it plain like we do. Dirty one bowl and one dish, and enjoy a plate of healthy, gluten-free pancakes in 5 minutes flat.

Keep in mind, the ripeness of your bananas will alter the taste of these pancakes. I prefer to use a banana with green tips. It keeps the flavor only mildly tinted with banana, and still has enough start to keep the texture of the pancakes pretty durn perfect. A ripe banana or green banana also work. Ripe bananas will give you a sweeter pancake, and green bananas may take just a  bit more blending to get the batter properly pureed.

No matter what color your banana, you seriously can not go wrong with these yummy pancakes. Whip ’em up and enjoy. They’re gluten-free, guilt-free, and deeelish.

2-INGREDIENT PALEO PANCAKES

Two healthy ingredients are all you need to make these splendid gluten-free pancakes. Topped with a smidgen of honeyed blueberries or pure maple syrup (and lots of butter), this recipe is a great way to start the day without grains!

Ingredients

  2. 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Place banana and egg in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a nonstick ceramic skillet heated to medium-high. Flip once the edges of the pancake have set. Enjoy!
