Instructions

Make the Crepe Batter:
- In a bowl, combine oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
-
Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan with a little oil or butter over medium heat.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of batter into the pan and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute.

Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, sweetener, and ground cinnamon. If needed, add a bit of milk to thin the mixture.
-
Assemble the Crepes:
- Spread the yogurt cinnamon filling over each crepe, then roll it up.

Make the Cinnamon Sugar:
- In a small bowl, combine the granular sweetener and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the rolled crepes.

Serve and Enjoy:
