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 (if necessary, to thin)
Sugar-free Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup or honey, whole egg, and egg whites. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the pan: Place a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
- Cook the crepes: Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with erythritol and cinnamon. Add a splash of preferred milk if the mixture is too thick to spread smoothly.
- Fill and roll: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe and roll it up tightly.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: Combine erythritol and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this sugar-free cinnamon sugar generously over the rolled crepes.
Notes
- Use oat flour for a gluten-free option or substitute with any preferred flour.
- Add a little almond or coconut milk to the yogurt filling to adjust the consistency if needed.
- Cook crepes on medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring even cooking.
- For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter.
- Store leftover crepes wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
