Red Velvet Crepes with Chocolate Cream Filling

I've been seeing red velvet flavored everything literally everywhere, (including coffee at my favorite local coffee shop! and it was delicious) so naturally I had to make my own healthy recipe of some sort. When I made these red velvet crepes, it was like eating dessert for breakfast. Especially with Peanut Butter & Co.'s Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter on top. Everyone knows Valentine's Day is pretty much just an excuse to eat more sweets...so why not have it for breakfast too?

Ingredients (serves one):
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp psyllium husks (optional, but gives a better texture and adds fiber)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp LorAnn Oils Red Velvet Emulsion
1-2 stevia packets

Chocolate Cream filling:
3-4 tbsp plain greek yogurt
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 stevia packet
splash of almond milk

Directions: Blend all ingredients. Spray a pan with non-stick spray and put on medium heat. When it's hot, pour 1/3 of the batter onto the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flip, and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Repeat for the rest of the batter, so you end up making 3 crepes. Mix ingredients for chocolate cream filling in a bowl, and spread on all 3 crepes. I also usually add banana slices to the middle of each crepe. Roll them up and top with dark chocolate peanut butter or your topping of choice!
