Crepe Batter
- 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
Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
- Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin batter)
- Little oil or butter for cooking
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth and lump-free. Add a little preferred milk if the batter needs thinning.
- Heat the pan: Heat a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan with a little oil or butter over medium heat.
- Cook the crepes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of crepe batter onto the pan and move the skillet in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until edges lift easily, then flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
- Make the cinnamon yogurt filling: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Fill and roll the crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe, then roll them up tightly like cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, stir together granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this sugar-free cinnamon sugar over the top of the protein crepe rolls before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with any preferred flour like whole wheat or almond flour.
- If the batter is too thick, thin it slightly with your preferred milk to achieve a smooth crepe batter consistency.
- Cook crepes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
- 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.
