Why You’ll Love These Protein Crepes

• No Protein Powder: All the protein comes from natural sources like egg whites and Greek yogurt.
• Deliciously Balanced: Sweet, spiced, and creamy, yet light and nourishing.
• Quick & Easy: From mixing bowl to plate in just 15 minutes.
• Low Sugar & Gluten-Free Friendly: Can be made gluten-free and low-carb with substitutions.

Ingredients

For the Crepes:

• 40 grams (about ½ scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 egg
• 180 ml (¾ cup) egg whites

For the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling:

• 80 grams (⅓ cup) Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol or preferred)
• ⅓ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A splash of milk, if needed to thin the mixture

For the Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (erythritol)
• ⅓ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Make the Crepe Batter

In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup or honey, egg, and egg whites. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. The batter should be pourable but not watery.

2. Cook the Crepes

Heat a medium nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat with a little oil or butter. Once hot, pour in about ⅓ cup of the batter. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin layer.

Cook for 1–2 minutes or until the edges lift easily and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully and cook for another 30–60 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.

3. Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with sweetener and cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach a spreadable consistency.

4. Assemble the Crepes

Spread the cinnamon yogurt mixture across each crepe and roll them up like a cinnamon roll.

5. Add the Topping

Mix the sweetener and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the top of the rolled crepes. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Pro Tips & Variations

• Make It Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free oat flour or substitute almond flour.
• For Extra Fluff: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
• Sweet Tooth Upgrade: Drizzle with melted almond butter or a sugar-free glaze.
• Add Protein Boost: Mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into the yogurt for texture and extra nutrients.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with fresh fruit or berries
• Pair with black coffee or chai tea
• Add a dollop of whipped coconut cream for a dessert-like feel
• Store leftovers (if any!) wrapped in the fridge for up to 2 days

Whether you’re fueling up for a busy day or winding down on a cozy morning, these crepes feel indulgent without going overboard.
