⭐ How to Make High-Protein Cottage Cheese Crepes
1. Blend the Batter
Add cottage cheese, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and lump-free.
If using sweetener or cinnamon, blend it in now.
2. Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly grease with butter or spray oil.
3. Cook the Crepes
Pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan, swirling gently to spread into a thin circle.
Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the edges set and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip and cook the second side for 30–60 seconds.
Repeat with remaining batter.

Stack crepes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite fillings.
