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
For Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Others
- Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin batter)
- Oil or butter for cooking
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites. Stir vigorously until you have a smooth and lump-free batter. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of preferred milk to reach a pourable consistency suitable for crepes.
- Heat the Pan: Place a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the heated pan. Tilt and move the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Prepare Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon until well combined to create a creamy cinnamon-infused filling.
- Assemble Crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe. Then, roll the crepes tightly to resemble cinnamon rolls.
- Add Sugar-Free Topping: In a small bowl, combine granular sweetener and ground cinnamon to create a sugar-free cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the rolled protein crepes for added sweetness and spice.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with any preferred flour, including gluten-free options.
- If the batter is too thick, thin it with a small amount of milk to ensure thin crepes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for best results and easier flipping.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or any other liquid sweetener.
- For a vegan version, substitute egg and egg whites with plant-based alternatives, though texture will differ.
