These Healthy Oat Flour Crepes are a nourishing and delicious twist on the classic French crepe, made with oat flour and a touch of maple syrup for natural sweetness. Perfect for a wholesome breakfast or light dessert, they are easy to prepare with simple ingredients and cooked on the stovetop to achieve a beautifully thin and golden crepe.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 9 crepes

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (355ml) low fat milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp real maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp (28g) melted butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (160g) oat flour (measured with scale or scoop and level)
  • 3 Tbsp (29g) all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For Cooking

  • Avocado oil or olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a blender, add the low fat milk, eggs, real maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend these together briefly to start the batter mixture.
  2. Add dry ingredients and butter: Add the oat flour, all purpose flour, salt, and melted butter to the blender. Cover and blend on low speed for about 10 seconds until the ingredients are well combined and form a smooth batter.
  3. Heat the pan: Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to heat properly before cooking the crepes to ensure even browning and easy flipping.
  4. Prepare the pan: Once the skillet is hot, spray the inside bottom with avocado or olive oil cooking spray evenly to prevent the crepes from sticking.
  5. Cook the crepes: Pour a scant 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet, quickly tilting and swirling the pan to distribute the batter into a thin, even layer covering the bottom.
  6. Brown the first side: Let the crepe cook until the bottom turns golden brown. Use an offset spatula to gently lift one side of the crepe to check, then carefully flip it to the other side.
  7. Cook the second side: Cook until the second side turns just golden brown. If necessary, reduce the heat slightly to avoid burning or overcooking.
  8. Transfer and repeat: Transfer the cooked crepe to a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying the pan as needed. Keep finished crepes warm wrapped in a tea towel or stacked folded into fourths. If the batter thickens while resting, thin it out with a few tablespoons of milk.

Notes

  • Use a scale for precise measurement of oat flour to ensure consistent crepe texture.
  • Batter will thicken as it rests; thin with milk to maintain pourable consistency.
  • Adjust heat as needed to prevent crepes from browning too quickly or burning.
  • Serving suggestion: Fill crepes with fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter for a healthy and delicious meal.
  • Make sure the skillet is fully preheated before cooking each crepe for best results.
