Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- ½ cup oat flour (or any flour)
- 1 egg + 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
Filling
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol works well)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, maple syrup, whole egg, and egg whites until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the crepes: Pour about â…“ cup of the batter into the center of the heated skillet, then quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift easily and the bottom turns lightly golden, then carefully flip the crepe and cook briefly on the other side until lightly golden as well.
- Make the filling: While cooking the crepes, combine Greek yogurt with the granular sweetener and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, mixing thoroughly to create the cinnamon-flavored filling.
- Assemble the crepes: Spread a generous amount of the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each cooked crepe, then roll the crepe tightly into a log shape.
- Add the finishing touch: Mix the remaining granular sweetener with ground cinnamon and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled crepes to provide a classic cinnamon roll finish.
Notes
- Oat flour can be substituted with any preferred flour such as all-purpose or whole wheat flour.
- For a lower sugar option, adjust the amount of sweetener to taste or use a zero-calorie sweetener.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated to get perfectly thin and evenly cooked crepes.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve more people.
