Can This Recipe Support Weight Loss Goals?
Crepe rolls can fit into a balanced weight-conscious eating plan when portions and fillings are controlled. Using Greek yogurt, eggs, and almond flour adds protein and helps make the crepes more satisfying. Choosing fresh fruit or a protein-rich savory filling instead of sugary spreads can also help keep added sugar and overall carbohydrates lower.
Does This Recipe Fit a High-Protein Lifestyle?
Yes, these crepes contain eggs and Greek yogurt, which provide protein, while almond flour keeps the carbohydrate content lower than traditional wheat-flour crepes. For an even higher-protein version, add a small amount of unsweetened protein powder to the batter. The filling you choose will have a major impact on the final protein and net-carb content.

Directions
- Prepare the batter.
Add almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, salt, and melted butter to a mixing bowl. Whisk for 1–2 minutes until smooth. - Add sweet ingredients if desired.
For sweet crepes, add vanilla and low-carb sweetener. For savory crepes, leave them out. - Rest the batter.

Slide a spatula underneath and gently flip. Cook the second side for another 30–60 seconds until lightly golden. - Repeat.
Continue until all the batter is used. Keep cooked crepes covered with a clean towel to prevent them from drying out. - Add the filling.
