Crepes (makes about 1 serving):
40 g (½ scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 whole egg
180 ml (¾ cup) egg whites
Cinnamon Yogurt Filling:
80 g (⅓ cup) Greek yogurt
1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol or your choice)
⅓ tsp ground cinnamon
Optional: splash of milk to thin
Sugar-Free Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
1 tsp granular sweetener
⅓ tsp ground cinnamon
Make the crepe batter: In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), whole egg, and egg whites until smooth.
Cook the crepes: Lightly grease a medium non-stick skillet and place over medium heat. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to form a thin layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges firm up, then flip and cook the other side briefly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with sweetener and cinnamon. Add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.
Assemble the crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling on each crepe, then roll them up.
Top and serve: Mix sweetener and cinnamon for the topping, sprinkle over the crepes, and serve warm.
