Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the crepes
- 200 g protein pudding, salted caramel flavor
- 1 medium egg
- 25 g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sunflower oil, for cooking
For the assembly
- 200 g protein pudding, salted caramel flavor
- 1 banana
- 30 g hazelnuts
For serving
- 65% dark chocolate, melted
- finely chopped hazelnuts
Directions
Add the protein pudding, egg, and flour to a bowl, then whisk until the batter is smooth. Heat a 20 cm nonstick pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with a little sunflower oil. Pour in one ladle of batter and swirl the pan so the mixture spreads evenly across the surface. Cook each crepe for 1 to 2 minutes per side, flipping with a spatula, then transfer it to a plate. Repeat until you have 4 crepes.
To assemble, spread about 2 tablespoons of protein pudding over each crepe. Slice the banana and divide it among the crepes, then add the hazelnuts. Fold or roll the crepes, drizzle with melted chocolate, sprinkle with finely chopped hazelnuts, and serve. This recipe is described as an easy, homemade crepe recipe filled with protein pudding, banana, and hazelnuts.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 4 crepes and takes about 25 minutes from start to finish. The recipe is also labeled easy, which makes it ideal for busy mornings or a quick afternoon snack.
Variations
You can easily switch up the flavor while keeping the same simple method. Try using vanilla or chocolate protein pudding instead of salted caramel for a different base flavor. You can swap the hazelnuts for almonds or walnuts, or add sliced strawberries instead of banana for a fresher twist. For a richer dessert-style version, add a little extra melted chocolate on top just before serving.
Storage/Reheating
These crepes are best enjoyed fresh, especially once filled, because the banana and pudding have the best texture right after assembly. If you want to prep ahead, cook the crepes first and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, with parchment between them to prevent sticking. Keep the filling and toppings separate until serving.
To reheat, warm the plain crepes briefly in a nonstick skillet over low heat or microwave them for a few seconds until soft. Then fill and serve.
FAQs
Can I make these crepes ahead of time?
Yes. You can cook the crepes in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Fill them just before serving for the best texture.
Can I use a different flavor of protein pudding?
Yes. Salted caramel gives these crepes a sweet, dessert-like flavor, but vanilla or chocolate would also work well.
Do I need a blender for the batter?
No. A simple whisk is enough to mix the pudding, egg, and flour into a smooth batter.
Why are my crepes tearing?
They can tear if they are flipped too early or if the pan is not properly heated. Let each crepe set before turning it.
Can I make these without banana?
Yes. You can leave the banana out or replace it with strawberries, raspberries, or thin apple slices.
What kind of pan works best?
A nonstick pan around 20 cm wide works best because it helps the batter spread evenly and makes flipping easier.
Can I freeze the crepes?
You can freeze the plain cooked crepes, stacked with parchment between them, for up to 1 month. Thaw and reheat before filling.
Are these good for breakfast only?
Not at all. They also make a great brunch option, afternoon snack, or post-workout bite.
Can I add more toppings?
Yes. Extra chopped nuts, a little nut butter, or an extra drizzle of melted chocolate all work nicely.
How do I keep the crepes soft?
Stack them on a plate as you cook and cover them loosely so they stay warm and flexible until you are ready to fill them.
Conclusion
Protein pudding crepes are a simple way to make breakfast or snack time feel more exciting without much work. With a quick batter, a creamy filling, fresh banana, crunchy hazelnuts, and a little melted chocolate on top, they deliver plenty of flavor in a recipe that is easy enough for any day of the week.
