Ingredients
For the Crepes:
1/2 cup oat flour
1 large egg
3/4 cup egg whites
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Oil or butter for greasing the pan
For the Filling:
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
1-2 tbsp granular sweetener (such as erythritol)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Topping:
1 tbsp granular sweetener
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter – In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, egg, egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Cook the Crepes – Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Make the Filling – In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, sweetener, and cinnamon.
- Assemble – Spread the filling over each crepe, roll them up, and place on a serving plate.
- Add the Topping – Mix cinnamon and sweetener, then sprinkle over the crepes before serving.
Notes
Thinner Crepes: If you prefer ultra-thin crepes, add a little more liquid (egg whites or milk) to the batter for a more spreadable consistency.
Gluten-Free Option: Use certified gluten-free oat flour or swap with almond or coconut flour for a lower-carb alternative.
Sweetener Choices: Adjust sweetness by using honey, maple syrup, stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol based on your dietary preference.
Extra Protein Boost: Mix a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the batter for an even higher protein content.
Storage Tips: Store crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them with parchment paper in between for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
Alternative Fillings: Try nut butter and banana, cream cheese with cinnamon, or a light cottage cheese filling for variety.
