Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 40 grams (1/2 scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 egg
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) egg whites
Filling
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, combine the oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites. Stir the mixture well until it is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a pourable batter consistency.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin round layer.
- Flip the Crepes: Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift from the pan. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional minute to ensure it is cooked through and golden lightly on both sides.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon. Add a splash of your preferred milk if needed to thin the mixture to spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread the prepared cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe, then carefully roll each crepe up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the rolled crepes for a sweet finishing touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the crepes warm. Optionally drizzle with sugar-free syrup or top with fresh fruit to enhance the flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with any flour of your choice, such as all-purpose or gluten-free blends.
- Adjust the sweetness by using more or less maple syrup or sweetener according to your taste preferences.
- If the batter is too thick, thin it out with a little milk to achieve a better crepe texture.
- For vegan or dairy-free version, consider using plant-based yogurt and egg substitutes.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
