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
Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
- Prepare Crepe Batter: In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat Pan: Place a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to lightly coat the surface.
- Cook Crepes: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of crepe batter onto the heated pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly.
- Make Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Fill Crepes: Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon yogurt filling over each cooked crepe, then roll them up tightly.
- Prepare Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar: Stir together granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the rolled crepes for extra flavor and a touch of sweetness. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash of your preferred milk to thin it out for easier spreading.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- These crepes can be enjoyed warm or cold.
- For added flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the batter or filling.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using oat flour certified gluten-free.
