How many calories are in bliny
100 g of bliny made with milk contain about 228 kcal: 6.1 g of protein, 9.3 g of fat and 30.4 g of carbs. A thin 22–24 cm crepe weighs about 50 g and has about 114 kcal. Three crepes are 342 kcal, five are already over 550 kcal, and during Maslenitsa few people stop at three.
Milk, water or kefir batter
Water-based bliny are about 70 kcal lighter per three crepes but less elastic. Kefir bliny are fluffier and close to milk ones in calories. Butter brushed on every crepe adds the most calories: brushing every other crepe or using a thin layer makes a real difference.
Fillings and toppings
Sour cream is the lightest topping, about 50 kcal for two spoons. Condensed milk, jam and honey add 100–130 kcal, mostly as sugar. Cottage cheese and minced meat fillings make bliny more filling and protein-rich, but also add 130–200 kcal per serving. Red caviar gives plenty of protein and omega-3 for a moderate calorie increase.
Bliny on a diet
Bliny are mostly fast carbs and fat, with little protein or fiber. In a calorie deficit, choose savory fillings such as cottage cheese, chicken, fish or vegetables, and make the batter with 1.5% milk and some wholegrain flour. Two crepes with cottage cheese and berries are a decent breakfast; five with condensed milk are dessert for half a day.
How to count your bliny
Crepe thickness and the amount of butter vary, so counting by weight is most accurate. A handy habit is weighing the stack and dividing by the number of crepes. Or take a photo of your plate in MyFoodMate AI: the app accounts for both the crepes and the filling.
