Why You’ll Love This Copycat Egglife Wraps Recipe
Don’t get me wrong — I love bread, tortillas, and carbs of all kinds. But sometimes, the added protein in an egg wrap is just what my body craves. Plus, it’s nice to be able to snack without feeling like I have to limit myself later in the day. If you’re in the same boat, this recipe for Egg Life egg white wraps is gonna be right up your alley.
Aside from yielding spot-on replicas of those trendy and spendy store-bought versions, this egg wraps recipe is:
- Quick & Easy - All you need is about 3 minutes and a blender to whip up the batter, then 3-4 minutes to cook each Egg Life wrap.
- Lots of Variety - While I’ve seen lots of recipes for the plain, “original” Egglife wraps, my version ensures you have access to all 5 flavors you can buy in stores. Feel free to mix and match to your heart’s content!
- Super Cheap! - I can get a quart of liquid egg whites from my local Aldi for around $4, which means each homemade batch of 3 costs just $1 (plus a few pennies worth of seasoning). Considering a pack of 6 costs upwards of $6 in stores, we’re saving some serious $$$ by making our own.
Ingredients & Substitutions
We’ll start with a simple base recipe to make our Egg Life wraps, then you can gussy them up with the seasonings of your choice. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Liquid Egg Whites - I like using the variety that comes in a carton for ease of use. You’re also welcome to use liquid eggs (with the yolks), whole eggs, or fresh egg whites.
- Xanthan Gum - This corn-derived emulsifier is a popular ingredient for gluten-free baking, so you may already have some on hand. You need just a smidge, so even though a container is a bit of an investment (around $5-6), it will last you a LONG time. Alternatively, you can use 2 tablespoons of collagen powder or 2 tablespoons of the plain, unflavored protein powder of your choice instead.
- Kosher Salt - A little seasoning ensures your wrap doesn’t taste like packing peanuts. You won't need it for the Southwest or Everything flavors, as these seasoning mixes already have plenty.
- Nutritional Yeast - Optional, but ideal for adding a mildly cheesy flavor and a little nutrient boost. Add to any savory or plain flavor as desired. You don’t need it for the sweet cinnamon flavor.
- Olive Oil - For pan-frying. How much you’ll need is dependent on how non-stick your pan or griddle is. With mine, just a light swish of my pastry brush is enough. You’re also welcome to swap in the oil of your choice.
To make the Sweet Cinnamon Flavor, you’ll also need:
- Cinnamon Sugar - While you can buy it premade, it’s much cheaper to mix 1 part cinnamon with about 8-10 parts sugar. (Here that’d be about ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon + 1 teaspoon sugar.) For a keto/no-sugar-added version, use monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar.
- Vanilla Extract - A small amount of vanilla adds a lovely aromatic warmth that makes these copycat Egglife cinnamon wraps taste extra special. You can also use an equal amount of vanilla paste or vanilla powder; or use half as much ground vanilla bean.
To make the Everything But The Bagel Flavor, you’ll also need:
- Everything But The Bagel Seasoning - I typically buy mine pre-made from either Aldi or Trader Joe’s. The amount added will depend on your flavor preferences and how much salt is in the seasoning mix.
To make the Italian Flavor, you’ll also need:
- Italian Seasoning - This aromatic blend (which typically includes basil, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, and rosemary) adds a ton of flavor without any fuss. Feel free to use a homemade blend, or swap in the herb-based seasoning blend of your choice (e.g. Herbes de Provence).
To make the Southwest Flavor, you’ll also need
- Taco Seasoning - This zesty blend of chili powder, cumin, coriander, alliums, and other seasonings is a snappy way to add southwestern flair to to your homemade Egg Life egg wraps. As with the EBBB seasoning, the amount added will depend on your flavor preferences and how much salt is already in the seasoning mix.
How to Make Copycat Egg Life Egg White Wraps
This egg whites wrap recipe comes together in just a few simple steps. Here’s how:
Step 1: Blend Batter. Add 1 cup egg whites, ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum, and the seasonings of your choice to the blender. Blend on high till frothy and foamy.
Step 2: Heat Skillet over medium heat. Add about ½ - ¾ teaspoons oil to the pan as needed for frying. I typically use a pastry brush for a thin layer, but depending on your pan, you may need more.
Step 3: Cook Wraps. When the pan is hot, add approximately ⅓ cup of the egg white mixture to the pan and swirl around to make a thin pancake/crepe shape. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until set, then flip and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the other side is cooked through.
Step 4: Use or Cool & Store. Remove cooked egg white wrap to a plate or cookie sheet to cool, then stack, using parchment paper to keep them from sticking together. Cooked egg life wraps will last in a gallon-sized zip-top container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
What To Make With Egg Wraps
Wondering how to use egg wraps? It’s honestly kind of astonishing how many ways you can put these bad boys to use. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
Plain/Original
- Classic Breakfast Burrito: Double up on eggy goodness by filling your wrap with scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, cheese, and salsa.
- Veggie Delight: Take your veggie platter on the go by filling your wrap with thin slices of bell peppers, carrots, lettuce, and hummus or ranch dressing.
- Spicy Tuna Wrap: Stuff my spicy avocado tuna salad, fresh cilantro, and pickled red onions into a wrap for a delectable meal on the go.
Sweet Cinnamon
- Breakfast Quesadilla: Spread on a layer of dark chocolate hummus, then add sliced bananas and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Feel free to pan-fry it to make the hummus all gooey and melty. 😋
- Handheld Breakfast Parfait: Add a layer of plain Greek yogurt, then sprinkle on some vanilla almond granola, fresh berries, and drizzle of honey for a healthy breakfast or snack.
- Dessert Crepe: A thin layer of cream cheese fruit dip, sliced strawberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar turn these wraps into a delicious, better-for-you dessert.
Everything But the Bagel
- Deli Delight: Spread on some whipped cream cheese, then add smoked salmon, capers, and thinly sliced red onions for a low-carb version of the classic bagel breakfast.
- Avocado & Egg: Swap in a wrap for the toast to make an egg & avocado tartine.
- Tuna Veggie Wrap: Spread on some of my tuna white bean dip, then add thin slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Italian
- Peach Burrata Caprese Wrap: Add creamy slices of burrata (or fresh mozzarella), ripe summer tomato, fresh peaches, basil, and a balsamic glaze for a tasty summer treat.
- Chicken “Pita” Wrap: Use your herby wrap as a pita to make a low-carb version of this simple dinner.
- Lasagna with Egg Wraps: Swap out the noodles in your next cheesy pasta bake.
Southwest
- Salmon Burrito Wrap: Grilled salmon, cheesy rice, corn, and guacamole tucked into a taco-seasoned egg white tortilla makes a stellar low-carb version of my favorite Dos Coyotes order.
- Black Bean & Corn Wrap: Black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream is all you need for a filling vegetarian treat.
- Spicy Potato Taco Wrap: Chorizo and potatoes make for a budget-friendly filling that’s perfect for breakfast or dinner. Feel free to bulk it up with scrambled eggs, and don’t forget a drizzle of creamy jalapeño sauce.
Expert Tips
- Feel free to scale the recipe up as needed, just be mindful of your blender’s capacity. 1 quart of liquid egg whites will make 4 batches, or 12 wraps.
- To make a mixed bag of flavors, feel free to sprinkle the seasonings on after pouring the batter into the pan instead of blending them in. Just make sure to sprinkle evenly!
- Mind your salt. Everything But The Bagel Seasoning & Taco Seasoning both vary widely by brands in terms of how much salt is added. I suggest starting with less and adding more if needed so you don't oversalt. Remember to omit the added kosher salt for these flavors.
- Use parchment. I like to make a big batch of these on my meal prep day, then nibble on them throughout the week. Use pieces of parchment paper to separate the wraps as you stack them to prevent them from sticking.
- Give ‘em a quick zap. I recommend microwaving the egg wraps for about 10-15 seconds before using them to make them a little more pliable and easy to work with. If they “sweat” and have liquid beading on the surface, simply dab it away with a paper towel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once made, I suggest using your homemade egg wraps within 5-7 days.
Yep! They keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just make sure they’re separated with parchment and placed in a freezer-safe zip-top bag with as much air pressed out as possible. To use them, allow them to defrost overnight in the fridge. Then, when you’re ready for a wrap, microwave one for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable, and blot away any excess moisture as needed.
I’ll leave the “healthy” debate for the diet professionals. That said, my copycat Egglife original egg white wraps clock in at just 64 calories per serving, boast 8 grams of protein, and have less than 1 gram of carbs per wrap. I’d call that pretty virtuous!
Absolutely! Just note that the nutritional facts will change a bit if you do.
