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 the filling)

Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
  • 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, maple syrup, egg, and egg whites. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a uniform batter that will cook evenly.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with erythritol and ground cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of preferred milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary. Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan and tilt to spread evenly into a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for another minute. Remove crepe and repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Spread a thin layer of cinnamon yogurt filling over each crepe, then sprinkle with the sugar-free cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll or fold the crepes with the filling inside.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature as a protein-packed breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with any flour you prefer, such as almond or whole wheat flour, depending on dietary preferences.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey for a different natural sweetness.
  • If erythritol is unavailable, you can use another granular sweetener suitable for your diet.
  • The crepes should be cooked on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Adding milk to the cinnamon yogurt filling is optional and only if a thinner spread is desired.
  • For additional flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the batter or filling.
