Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 40 grams (1/2 scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 egg
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) egg whites
Filling
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol)
- 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, combine the oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring an even batter.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat, lightly greasing with oil or butter. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, then tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is light golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute until cooked through.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with the granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of preferred milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spread the prepared cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe, then roll them up tightly into a cylindrical shape.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar: Combine the granular sweetener and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the rolled crepes to replicate the classic cinnamon roll flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cinnamon roll protein crepes warm. Optionally, drizzle with sugar-free syrup or add fresh fruit for an extra burst of flavor and sweetness.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with any preferred flour, but oat flour adds a nice texture and mild flavor.
- Use egg whites for extra protein and to keep the crepes light.
- Maple syrup or honey can be used depending on your sweetness preference and dietary needs.
- If you prefer, you can add a small amount of milk to the batter for thinner crepes.
- Adjust the sweetness of the filling and topping according to your taste using any granular sweetener.
- These crepes are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and mildly reheated.
