Ingredients

For the crepes:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey, plant-based, or preferred type)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

For the cinnamon swirl filling:

  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the topping (optional):

  • Greek yogurt or whipped cream

  • Sliced fruit (bananas, strawberries, or apples)

  • Extra cinnamon

Instructions

  • Make the crepe batter:
    In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats (or oat flour), protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  • Cook the crepes:
    Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
    Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  • Make the cinnamon swirl filling:
    Mix the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. Warm it slightly if needed to make it easier to spread.

  • Assemble the crepes:
    Spread a small amount of the cinnamon swirl filling on the center of each crepe. Roll or fold them into a tight cylinder or quarters.

  • Serve:
    Serve immediately while warm. Top with Greek yogurt or whipped cream, sliced fruit, and extra cinnamon for added flavor.

Notes

  • Vegan version: Use plant-based protein powder, flax eggs, and almond or oat milk.

  • Add-ins: Feel free to mix in chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for extra texture.

  • Chocolate version: Add cocoa powder to the batter and chocolate chips to the filling for a chocolate twist.
