Description
These high protein oatmeal crepes are thin, tender, and lightly sweet with a hint of cinnamon, perfect for breakfast or after a workout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or almond milk)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Blend the rolled oats in a blender until they become a fine flour. Measure and set aside the oat flour. Crack the eggs into a bowl and have the milk, protein powder (if using), vanilla, cinnamon, and salt ready. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat so it’s hot when you’re ready to cook.
- In a bowl or the blender, combine the oat flour, milk, eggs, protein powder (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix or blend until smooth and slightly thin — the batter should pour easily but coat the back of a spoon. Let the batter rest 2–3 minutes to hydrate; if it thickens too much, thin with a tablespoon of milk at a time.
- Add a small amount of oil or butter to the hot skillet and wipe with a paper towel to leave a thin film. Pour a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of batter into the skillet and quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly into a round. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip with a thin spatula and cook for another 1–2 minutes until set and golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping the skillet and adding a touch more oil if needed.
- Stack cooked crepes on a plate and keep warm under a clean towel while you finish the batch. Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, nut butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
These crepes can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats. For best texture after storing, warm gently in a non-stick pan over low heat to restore flexibility.
