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
Optional Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Other
- Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin batter)
- Oil or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth and lump-free. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of your preferred milk to thin it to a crepe-like consistency.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of the crepe batter onto the pan. Immediately move the skillet in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the surface. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly browned, then carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Prepare Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon until well combined to create the cinnamon “sugar” filling.
- Fill and Roll: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe. Carefully roll the crepe into a log shape.
- Optional Topping: To enhance the cinnamon roll flavor, in a small bowl mix the sweetener and cinnamon for a sugar-free cinnamon sugar topping. Sprinkle this over the rolled crepes before serving.
Notes
- If the batter is too thick, add milk little by little until the desired consistency is reached.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for best results to prevent sticking and tearing.
- For a vegan variation, substitute egg and egg whites with appropriate plant-based alternatives, though texture may vary.
- Sweeteners can be adjusted to taste or substituted with sugar or another preferred sweetener.
- These crepes can be served warm or chilled based on preference.
