Finally Perfected: Coconut Flour Wrap

I've been trying for months to make a coconut flour wrap.  Like, a good one.  Like, totally, you know.

I wanted a nice tasty, versatile wrap that I could use to make a PB & J Banana Roll.  Or a taco.  Or a deconstructed sandwich wrap.  I wanted it to be quick and easy.  Low cal, low carb, low work.  Cause I'm lazy.  But most importantly I wanted a wrap that would actually hold together so that I could pick it up and shove it in my hungry mouth.  I hate having a beautiful wrap, then having to chop it up and eat it with a fork because the dang thing fell apart in my hand.

Ain't nobody got time fo that.

Behold. The Wrap.
It's quick.  It's easy.  It's tasty.  It's high protein, low carb.  It's versatile.  It's everything a girl could want...in a wrap.

Perfect Coconut Flour Tortilla Wrap

3 egg whites
1/2 Tbsp coconut flour
additional seasonings (ex: garlic powder, cilantro, onion powder for savory wrap; cinnamon, cloves, stevia for a sweet wrap/crepe/roll)

Blend ingredients in blender, Ninja, Magic Bullet, Vitamix, or use some crazy elbow grease to whip that shiz.

Heat large skillet on med/med-high heat.  Coat with cooking spray.

When skillet is completely heated, pour mixture on skillet and swirl pan to spread mixture over entire pan.  Cover pan.  Let cook for a minute or two; wrap may puff up, just remove lid and prepare to flip.  When wrap is set, swirl pan to be sure wrap is not sticking to pan.  Use some wrist action to flip the wrap, or a gigantron pancake flipper.  Cook another 30 seconds, slide onto plate, and create the most delicious wrap you can imagine!
I'm excited to try a sweet version.  I'm seeing some cocoa pumpkin fluff, cottage cheese, PB2, mashed sweet potato and banana...dipped in maple yogurt sauce.  Oh baby.

Enjoy!

    1. wrap-tastrophes are the WORST. I made it into a pizza crust a couple days ago, too - awesomeness! Thinking of giving tortilla chips a shot with it? Maybe make a bunch of little circles, then bake the hell outta them? I might spend vacation camped out in the kitchen with all these damn ideas I wanna try...

  2. Did you use actual eggs or egg whites from a carton? If so what's the conversion? Thanks girl! (eatclean_getfitwifey from instagram )

    1. Hey girl! I always use real egg whites and toss the yolks - wasteful, I know, but for whatever reason the carton whites seem to disagree with my gut. (TMI? maybe lol). I'm sure carton whites would work though - maybe use a half a cup of whites. I think one white = 3 tbsp...so 3 whites would be a little over 1/2 cup (8tbsp). Hope this helps! Let me know if you try it and it works out :)

  6. So disappointed!!! I was looking forward to a sweet crepe-style wrap--I topped it with butter, cinnamon and sugar, but it tastes exactly like an omellette--super eggy. Fine if you want an omelette you can wrap up for breakfast, but it does not replace a wheat wrap by any stretch of the imagination! :(

    1. Really? You were surprised it tasted like eggs? Could that be because it's nearly all eggs.....smh
