Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (ground into oat flour)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping

  • Cream cheese glaze (for frosting substitute)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Start by blending the rolled oats into a fine oat flour using a food processor or blender. In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and sweetener. Whisk in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture forms a smooth, slightly thin batter.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Ensure the pan is evenly heated before pouring the batter for the perfect thin crepes.
  3. Cook the crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side until edges look set and lightly browned, then gently flip and cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Assemble cinnamon roll flavor: Once crepes are cooked, spread a thin layer of cream cheese glaze or your favorite frosting substitute to mimic that signature cinnamon roll feel. Optionally, sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top for added taste and texture.
  5. Serve warm: Stack a few crepes or enjoy them folded with syrup or fruit on the side for a truly satisfying breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Batter consistency: Aim for a pourable batter similar to traditional crepes to achieve thin and tender results.
  • Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture for better texture.
  • Use a non-stick pan: A quality non-stick skillet or crepe pan prevents tearing and makes flipping easier.
  • Cook low and slow: Use medium to medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Experiment with toppings: Cream cheese glaze is classic, but nut butter or Greek yogurt also pair fantastically.
