Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup egg whites
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup whey or plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you have a thin, smooth batter with no lumps.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil or butter to prevent sticking. Make sure the pan is evenly heated before cooking the crepes.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Stack the cooked crepes on a plate, layering a drizzle of warm maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon between each if desired. Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven.

Notes

  • The batter should be thin enough to spread easily; add more almond milk if too thick.
  • Preheat the pan well to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Use a silicone spatula for easy flipping without tearing crepes.
  • Cook just until edges lift and bottoms are golden to keep crepes tender.
  • Add cinnamon sugar between crepe layers to enhance flavor.
  • For vegan variation, replace egg whites with flax egg and use plant-based protein powder.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute oat flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking blend.
  • Sweetener alternatives include coconut sugar, stevia, or monk fruit.
  • Optional spices like nutmeg or cardamom can be added for deeper cinnamon roll flavor.
  • Fillings such as chopped nuts, raisins, or sugar-free cream cheese add extra texture.
