Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit
- Yogurt
- Nuts
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine rolled oats, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth to create the batter.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes so the oats can absorb the liquid, which improves texture and consistency.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or crepe pan on medium heat to prepare for cooking.
- Cook Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan and spread it thinly with the back of a spoon. Cook each crepe for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same way until all crepes are done.
- Serve: Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk as per dietary preference.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg or chia egg.
- Letting the batter rest helps achieve a better texture.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle to prevent sticking.
- Adjust cooking time if crepes are too thick or thin.
