Ingredients

Scale

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
  • Preferred milk (optional, to thin filling)

Sugar-free Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
  • 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes on one side until set, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly.
  4. Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. Add a splash of preferred milk if the mixture needs to be thinned for spreading.
  5. Assemble the Crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe, then roll them up tightly.
  6. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, combine granular sweetener and ground cinnamon to create the sugar-free cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle this generously over the rolled crepes before serving.

Notes

  • Oat flour can be substituted with any preferred flour such as whole wheat or all-purpose flour.
  • Use egg whites and eggs as specified for a high protein content without added protein powder.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or a sugar-free syrup for variation.
  • Adjust the milk quantity in the filling to achieve your preferred spreadable consistency.
  • Cook crepes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • This recipe serves one but can be multiplied easily for more servings.
  • Erythritol is used as a low-calorie sweetener; substitute with your preferred sweetener if needed.
