Ingredients

Crepes

  • 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)

Sugar-free Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 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 you obtain a smooth, thin batter free of lumps, suitable for making delicate crepes.
  2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed. Pour a small ladle of batter onto the pan and swirl to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with erythritol and ground cinnamon until well combined. If the mixture is too thick for spreading, thin it slightly with a small amount of preferred milk, stirring until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon yogurt filling onto each crepe, then roll or fold them as preferred.
  5. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, combine the erythritol and cinnamon to create a sugar-free cinnamon sugar blend.
  6. Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the rolled crepes for added sweetness and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-rich cinnamon roll crepes.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with any flour of your choice, such as whole wheat or almond flour, depending on dietary preferences.
  • If you do not have erythritol, you can use other granular sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg and egg whites with flax eggs and plant-based yogurt, though texture may vary.
  • Ensure the crepe batter is thin for best results; add a splash of milk or water if it feels too thick.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easier crepe flipping and cooking.
  • These crepes are best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
