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
- Preferred milk, if necessary to thin the batter
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the hot pan. Tilt and swirl the pan so the batter spreads evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook the other side briefly.
- Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: While the crepes cook, mix Greek yogurt with erythritol and ground cinnamon until well combined to create a sweet cinnamon-flavored filling.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe. Roll the crepes tightly to form cinnamon roll shapes.
- Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this sugar-free cinnamon sugar on top of the crepe rolls for an extra flavorful finish.
Notes
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash of preferred milk to thin it to a pourable consistency.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for best results and easy flipping.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or omitted to keep sugar levels lower.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs and dairy with appropriate plant-based alternatives.
- Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
