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 Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- 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.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, gently swirling the skillet to spread it evenly into a thin layer. Cook over medium heat until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly.
- Mix Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sweetener, and ground cinnamon. Add a splash of preferred milk if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Assemble Crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each warm crepe, then roll them up tightly.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix sweetener and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the rolled crepes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with any flour of your choice.
- Use honey instead of maple syrup if preferred for natural sweetness.
- Add a little milk to the yogurt filling if you want it thinner and easier to spread.
- For an even fluffier crepe, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Ensure the pan is preheated properly to avoid sticking or tearing the crepes.
