Plus, they’re quick to make (only 5 minutes of prep time!) and you can even adjust the filling to suit your taste. Whether you’re meal prepping or just craving something comforting, these protein crepes are the way to go.

Directions

Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Cook the Crepes: Heat a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter. Scoop 1/3 cup of crepe batter onto the pan and swirl the skillet in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the crepe is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. Adjust the consistency with a little milk if needed.

Assemble the Crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling over each crepe, then roll it up.

Prepare the Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, stir together sweetener and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top of the crepe rolls for an extra touch of sweetness and spice.

Serve and Enjoy: Your cinnamon roll protein crepes are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as is, or add some fruit or extra yogurt on the side for more flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?

Yes! You can use all-purpose flour, almond flour, or any other flour of your choice. Just keep in mind that oat flour gives these crepes a slightly softer, fluffier texture.

2. Can I make these crepes without the yogurt filling?

Absolutely! You can skip the yogurt filling and just enjoy the crepes with the cinnamon sugar topping, or try a different filling like peanut butter, almond butter, or even cottage cheese for extra protein.

3. How can I make these crepes dairy-free?

You can easily make these crepes dairy-free by using dairy-free yogurt (like almond or coconut yogurt) for the filling, and any non-dairy milk of your choice in the batter.

4. Can I make a bigger batch of crepes?

Yes! Simply double or triple the ingredients to make more servings. You can cook the crepes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a quick, healthy breakfast throughout the week.

5. Can I use a different sweetener instead of erythritol?

Yes, you can substitute erythritol with stevia, monk fruit, or any sweetener of your choice. Just be mindful of the sweetness level as different sweeteners vary in intensity.
