Ingredients & Substitutions

Ingredient List

• 4 large egg whites (or ½ cup liquid egg whites)
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• Olive oil or non-stick spray (for cooking)

Notes on Quality

Using room temperature egg whites will give you a more consistent texture and make it easier to mix with the flour. Coconut flour adds structure while keeping the recipe grain-free—just make sure it’s finely ground for a smooth batter.

Possible Substitutions

• Swap coconut flour for almond flour or oat fiber if you prefer a different texture or flavor.
• You can mix up the seasoning by using onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, or Italian seasoning for a fun flavor twist.
• Want a sweeter version? Skip the garlic and salt, and add a touch of vanilla extract and cinnamon instead.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites, coconut flour, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until combined. Don’t overmix—just enough to incorporate the flour.
2. Heat a small non-stick skillet (about 8 or 9 inches) over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick spray.
3. Pour about ¼ cup of the egg white mixture into the pan. Immediately tilt the pan to spread it out evenly, just like a crepe.
4. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift. Flip it carefully with a silicone spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter. You should get about 2-3 wraps total depending on pan size and thickness.
6. Fill with your favorite ingredients and serve warm or store for later.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Best Practices

• Use a good non-stick skillet—it makes flipping so much easier.
• Let the wraps cool for a minute before filling to prevent sogginess.
• Don’t skimp on the seasoning. Even a basic garlic powder and salt combo goes a long way.

Common Mistakes

• Cooking on high heat can brown the wraps too fast or make them rubbery. Stick to medium.
• If they tear easily, try adding a little more coconut flour or reduce the amount of batter per wrap.
• Overmixing the batter can make the texture rubbery.

Time-Saving Tips

• Use liquid egg whites from a carton to skip the separation step.
• Make a batch ahead of time and store in the fridge or freezer.
• Pre-mix your dry ingredients and keep them in a jar for quick grab-and-go cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Substitutions & Adjustments

Can I use whole eggs instead of just whites?
You can, but the wraps will be heavier and have a stronger egg flavor.

What if I don’t have coconut flour?
Try almond flour or oat fiber. Just remember the texture may change slightly.

Can I double or triple the recipe?
Absolutely! This recipe scales well. Make a big batch and freeze them.

Troubleshooting

My wraps keep tearing—what’s wrong?
They might be too thin. Try using a little more batter or adding an extra teaspoon of flour.

Why are my wraps rubbery?
Likely from overcooking or overmixing the batter. Stick to medium heat and just whisk gently.
