Ingredients

For the filling: *filling is optional, but it's delicious and adds a nice protein boost
1 cup 2% small curd cottage cheese or 4% -I use Good Culture
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp fresh lemon zest or orange zest
1 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice more or less, to taste-I used Microingredients monk fruit allulose blend (zero sugar and zero calories)
For the crepes:
1 cup 2% small curd cottage cheese or 4%-I use Good Culture
6 large eggs
½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour I used King Arthur brand
¼ cup Fairllife 2% milk or milk of choice
2 tbsp avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
Fresh berries and powdered sweetener of choice for topping

Instructions

First, make cottage cheese crepe filling.
In a mini food processor or blender, whip 1 cup small curd cottage cheese, 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice, 1/2 tsp lemon (or orange) zest, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until well combined. Taste the filling and adjust the sweetness, if needed.
Add all of the crepe batter ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the blender and blend for a few more seconds until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil to coat the bottom of the pan evenly,
Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, swirl to coat, and cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip and finish cooking on the other side. Repeat the process, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed until all the batter is used.
Stuff the crepes by spreading 2 tbsp of filling on the crepe (if desired), then folding (see photos) and serve immediately with fresh berries and a drizzle of real maple syrup or sprinkling with confectioners sweetener of choice.

* Nutrition info is for crepes only. The filling adds another 10 grams of protein, 59 calories, 2 grams fat, and 2 grams carbs for 2 tbsp on each of the 3 crepes, so with the filling added each serving packs 35 grams of protein.
