Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a small bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Pour in egg whites, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth. Add water or milk 1 tbsp at a time if it’s too thick.
Let Batter Rest

Heat the Pan
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter.
Cook the Crepes
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan and quickly spread into a thin circle. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges set and bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for 30–45 seconds.
Repeat and Stack
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Keep crepes warm by covering lightly with foil or a clean towel.
Make the Filling (Optional)
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, cream cheese, maple syrup, and cinnamon until creamy.
Assemble the Crepes
- Spread the filling over each crepe, roll or fold, and top with maple syrup, raisins, or powdered sugar if desired.
