Introduction

If you’re looking for a delicious and healthy twist on classic cinnamon rolls, these Cinnamon Roll Protein Crepes are perfect. They are light, packed with protein, and make a wonderful breakfast or snack that satisfies sweet cravings without the guilt.

Three light beige crepes are rolled up and stacked in a triangle shape on a white plate with a thin black rim. The crepes have a dusting of light brown cinnamon powder on top and are drizzled in a wavy pattern with smooth, glossy caramel sauce. Behind the plate, a glass of milk and a few cinnamon sticks are visible on a white marbled surface, adding to the cozy feel. A gold fork lies nearby on a white cloth, and a woman's hand is just out of frame, suggesting someone is about to enjoy the dish. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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
80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin batter)
1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol) for topping
1/3 tsp ground cinnamon for topping

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Step 2: Heat a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Scoop about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan, then tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
Step 4: Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift easily, then carefully flip and cook the other side briefly, about 30 seconds.
Step 5: For the cinnamon yogurt filling, mix Greek yogurt with 1 tsp granular sweetener and 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 6: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each crepe, then roll the crepe tightly into a log.
Step 7: In a small bowl, combine remaining granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar on top of the crepe rolls before serving.

Tips & Variations

If the batter is too thick, add a splash of your preferred milk to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
Use honey or agave instead of maple syrup for a different sweet flavor.
Try adding a few chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra texture.
For a vegan option, substitute egg with a flax or chia egg and use plant-based yogurt.

Storage

Store leftover rolled crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or in a warm skillet until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the crepes wrapped individually and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How to Serve

A stack of five rolled crepes arranged in two layers on a white plate with a thin black rim; three crepes form the bottom layer, and two crepes are stacked on top, all light golden brown with a soft, slightly textured surface dusted with a fine layer of cinnamon powder. Smooth caramel-colored sauce is drizzled in thick, wavy lines across the top and sides of the crepes, adding a glossy contrast to the matte powdered cinnamon. The plate is placed on a white marbled surface, and a soft white cloth is blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of flour instead of oat flour?

Yes, you can substitute oat flour with whole wheat, almond, or gluten-free flour blends. Adjust the liquid slightly if the batter consistency changes.

How can I make these crepes sweeter without added sugar?

You can increase the natural sweetness by using ripe mashed banana or applesauce in the batter, or simply add more cinnamon and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup when serving.
