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 the oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring even consistency for perfect crepes.
- Heat the Pan: Place a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan on medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/3 cup of the crepe batter onto the heated skillet. Tilt and rotate the pan immediately to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly.
- Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, granular sweetener (erythritol), and ground cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of preferred milk to thin it to a spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon yogurt filling over each cooked crepe, then roll them up tightly to create the cinnamon roll style crepe.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon to make a sugar-free cinnamon sugar blend.
- Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar blend over the rolled crepes for added flavor and a visually appealing finish. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with any other flour you prefer, such as whole wheat or almond flour.
- Use honey as an alternative sweetener if you do not have maple syrup.
- If the yogurt filling is too thick, thin it with a little milk or plant-based milk to spread easily.
- For a vegan variation, replace egg and egg whites with a plant-based crepe batter and use vegan yogurt.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the skillet or stove heat—watch the crepe closely to avoid burning.
