Ingredients
Units
Scale
Crepes:
- 40g oat flour (about 1/2 scant cup)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 whole egg
- 3/4 cup (180ml) egg whites
Cinnamon Yogurt Filling:
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (80g)
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preferred milk (optional, to thin if necessary)
Sugar-Free Cinnamon Topping:
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup, egg, and egg whites. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. For an ultra-smooth texture, use a blender.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the center, quickly tilting the pan to spread it evenly into a thin circle. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, sweetener, and ground cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick to spread, add a small splash of milk and stir until smooth.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread a layer of the cinnamon yogurt filling over each crepe and gently roll them up into logs or spirals.
- Add the Topping: In another small bowl, mix additional sweetener and cinnamon. Sprinkle this over the crepes just before serving for that classic cinnamon roll flavor.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking the crepes, as they can dry out quickly. Keep them soft by cooking just until the edges lift.
- For more flavor, add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the batter.
- You can also experiment with different fillings like nut butter or fresh fruit.
- These crepes are great for meal prep—store unfilled crepes in the fridge between sheets of parchment paper.
