Description

Delicious Cinnamon Roll Protein Crepes made with oat flour and egg whites, filled with a cinnamon-spiced Greek yogurt, and topped with sugar-free cinnamon sugar. A healthy, protein-packed twist on the classic cinnamon roll flavor perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 40 grams oat flour (or any flour)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 egg
  • 180 ml egg whites (3/4 cup)

Cinnamon Yogurt Filling

  • 80 grams Greek yogurt (1/3 cup)
  • 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
  • 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Preferred milk (if necessary, to thin Filling)

Sugar-free Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tsp granular sweetener (erythritol)
  • 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Prepare Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Heat Pan: Warm a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook Crepes: Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until set, then flip and cook for another 1 minute until done. Remove and set aside.
  4. Make Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener and ground cinnamon. Add a splash of milk if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
  5. Assemble Crepes: Spread the cinnamon yogurt filling evenly over each crepe, then roll them up tightly.
  6. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, stir together the erythritol sweetener and cinnamon to create the sugar-free cinnamon sugar.
  7. Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix over the rolled crepes and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use oat flour for a gluten-free option or substitute with any preferred flour.
  • Adjust the sweetness in the batter and filling to your taste by varying the maple syrup or sweetener.
  • If the yogurt filling is too thick, thin it slightly with a splash of your preferred milk.
  • Cook the crepes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled for more servings.
  • For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder to the batter.
