Ingredients
For the Crepes
- 40 grams (1/2 scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 egg
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) egg whites
Cinnamon Yogurt Filling
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
- Preferred milk, as needed to thin
Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir the mixture thoroughly until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the pan, quickly tilting in a circular motion to evenly spread the batter. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges lift and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook briefly on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. If needed, add a splash of milk to thin to a spreadable consistency.
- Fill and Roll Crepes: Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon yogurt filling over each cooked crepe. Roll up the crepes tightly to enclose the filling.
- Prepare Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar: Combine granular sweetener and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, mixing well.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the sugar-free cinnamon sugar on top of the rolled crepes. Serve immediately while fresh and tender.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with whole wheat flour or regular all-purpose flour.
- To make the recipe dairy-free, use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter for an extra boost—add a bit more liquid if necessary.
- These crepes are best served fresh, but can be refrigerated and briefly reheated if made in advance.
- Toppings like fresh fruit or a drizzle of nut butter make a great addition.
