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
Filling
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping
- 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional
- Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin batter)
- Little oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat, lightly greasing with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Move the pan in circular motions to evenly spread the batter into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side briefly.
- Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with erythritol and ground cinnamon until well combined to create the cinnamon-sweetened filling.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon yogurt filling over each cooked crepe. Carefully roll each crepe to resemble a cinnamon roll.
- Add the Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix erythritol and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the crepe rolls to finish and add extra flavor.
Notes
- Oat flour can be substituted with any preferred flour, such as whole wheat or almond flour, adjusting liquid as needed.
- Use maple syrup or honey based on dietary preference or sweetness level.
- If the batter is too thick, thin it slightly with a splash of preferred milk to achieve a crepe-like consistency.
- Non-stick or crepe pans work best for easy flipping and cooking.
- The cinnamon sugar topping is sugar-free when using erythritol, making this recipe diabetic-friendly.
