Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 40g (approx. ½ scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 egg
- 180 ml (¾ cup) egg whites
Filling
- 80g (â…“ cup) Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol or preferred)
- â…“ tsp ground cinnamon
- Splash of milk (optional, to thin if needed)
Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- â…“ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, mix together the oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites. Stir the mixture until smooth and free of lumps to create a perfect crepe batter.
- Heat the pan: Place a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking and help the crepes cook evenly.
- Cook the crepes: Pour approximately â…“ cup of batter into the heated pan, swirling it around to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip the crepe and cook briefly on the other side. Repeat this process for the remaining batter.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, granular sweetener, and ground cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it to desired consistency for easy spreading.
- Assemble the crepes: Spread the cinnamon-sweetened yogurt filling evenly onto each cooked crepe, then roll them up tightly and place them onto a serving plate.
- Add the topping: Mix together the cinnamon and granular sweetener to create a cinnamon sugar topping and sprinkle it generously over the rolled crepes before serving.
Notes
- Use oat flour for added fiber and protein, or substitute with any preferred flour.
- Maple syrup or honey can be used interchangeably depending on your preference.
- Adjust the thickness of the filling by adding milk to achieve a spreadable texture.
- Cooking on medium heat prevents burning and helps achieve tender crepes.
