Ingredients

  • 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
  • 80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol), divided
  • 2/3 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
  • Preferred milk, if necessary to thin batter
  • Little oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Add a splash of milk if it seems too thick.
  2. Step 2: Heat a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  3. Step 3: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the skillet to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with half of the granular sweetener and half of the cinnamon to create the cinnamon yogurt filling.
  5. Step 5: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe, then roll them up gently.
  6. Step 6: Combine the remaining sweetener and cinnamon in a small bowl to make a sugar-free cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle this over the rolled crepes before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use a non-stick pan to make flipping and rolling the crepes easier.
  • Substitute oat flour with almond flour for a lower-carb option.
  • Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and milk substitute.

Storage

Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. For best taste and texture, consume them fresh.

How to Serve

  • The recipe uses erythritol as a sugar-free sweetener, but you can substitute with other granular sweeteners if preferred.
  • These crepes are high in protein, making them an excellent post-workout breakfast or snack.
