Instructions

Make the crepe batter:
In a blender, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, milk, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly and ensure even cooking.
Cook the crepes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of the batter into the pan and quickly swirl it around to evenly coat the surface in a thin layer. Cook each crepe for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the edges lift easily and the crepe is lightly golden. Set cooked crepes aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the cinnamon filling:
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined. This filling adds a sweet and creamy cinnamon flavor reminiscent of traditional cinnamon rolls.
Make the cream cheese drizzle:
In another bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt, honey or powdered sugar, and milk until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. Add extra milk as needed to thin the drizzle to your desired texture.
Assemble the crepes:
Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over each cooked crepe. Roll the crepes tightly to enclose the filling. Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the rolled crepes generously just before serving for a luscious finishing touch.

Notes

You can substitute oat flour with all-purpose flour if preferred.
Use any milk type (dairy or plant-based) according to dietary preferences.
Honey or maple syrup can be used interchangeably in fillings and drizzle.
Letting the crepe batter rest improves crepe texture by hydrating the flour completely.
The crepes are best served warm for optimal flavor and texture.
This recipe makes about 4 medium crepes, enough for 2 servings.
