Ingredients List
Base Crepe Batter
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated (squeeze out water)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup oat flour or almond flour
- ½ scoop unflavored protein powder (optional, boosts protein)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup chopped parsley or cilantro
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

For Cooking
- 1–2 tsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the Zucchini
- Grate the zucchini using the large side of the grater.
- Place in a towel and squeeze out as much water as possible (this prevents soggy crepes).
Step 2 — Make the High-Protein Batter
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese/Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Add oat flour (or almond flour), baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir in grated zucchini, parsley, and green onions.
- Mix until batter is thick but pourable.
- If too thick → add 1–2 tbsp milk.
- If too thin → add 1 tbsp flour or protein powder.
Step 3 — Cook the Crepes
- Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat and lightly grease.
- Pour ¼ cup batter and spread thinly in a circle.
- Cook for 2 minutes until golden and edges lift up.
- Flip and cook 1–2 minutes.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
Step 4 — Serve
Stack them warm and enjoy as is, use as wraps, or pair with eggs, chicken, tuna salad, or cottage cheese.
Additional Notes
- Cottage cheese makes the crepes extra fluffy and high-protein.
- These reheat beautifully — keep them in a stack so they stay soft.
