Description

These Cinnamon Roll Protein Crepes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option combining the flavors of cinnamon rolls with a protein-packed crepe base. Made with oat flour, eggs, and egg whites, these crepes are filled with a lightly sweetened cinnamon Greek yogurt filling and topped with a sugar-free cinnamon sugar sprinkle for a guilt-free indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 40 grams (1/2 scant cup) oat flour (or any flour)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 egg
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) egg whites

Cinnamon Yogurt Filling

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

Sugar-free Cinnamon Sugar

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


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir well until all ingredients are incorporated and the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm a medium non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat, adding a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Scoop approximately 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Tilt and move the skillet in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges set and the bottom is lightly golden, then carefully flip the crepe to cook the other side briefly.
  4. Make the Cinnamon Yogurt Filling: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with granular sweetener (erythritol) and ground cinnamon. Add a splash of preferred milk if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
  5. Fill and Roll: Spread the cinnamon yogurt mixture over each cooked crepe, then roll the crepe tightly to form a roll.
  6. Prepare the Sugar-free Cinnamon Sugar: Combine granular sweetener and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the crepe rolls and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful breakfast.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour or all-purpose flour if preferred.
  • Use maple syrup or honey according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • Egg whites can be replaced with liquid egg substitute or additional whole eggs, but this will affect protein content.
  • If batter is too thick, add a little milk or water to reach desired consistency.
  • For a vegan version, use flax eggs and plant-based yogurt, but texture and flavor will vary.
  • This recipe serves one but can easily be multiplied to serve more.
