Description
Oatmeal crepes are thin, delicate crepes made with rolled oats, offering a nutritious twist on traditional crepes while remaining versatile for sweet or savory fillings. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a homemade treat. Easily made gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan.
Ingredients
For the Crepes:
– 1 cup rolled oats (substitute gluten-free oats if needed)
– 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond or oat milk for vegan diets)
– 1 large egg (substitute flax egg for vegan diets)
– 1 tbsp maple syrup (substitute honey or agave syrup if desired)
– ½ tsp vanilla extract
– ¼ tsp salt
For Cooking:
– 1 tbsp butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Optional Toppings:
– Fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, chocolate chips, spinach, cheese, cinnamon, or nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or crepe pan over medium heat.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle, spreading it thinly with the back of a spoon.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or savory fillings like spinach and cheese.
Notes
– Use high-quality rolled oats for maximum flavor and texture. Substitute plant-based ingredients for vegan diets.
– Store crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze for longer storage; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Avoid microwaving if possible.
