Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free optional)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or butter/cooking spray, for greasing pan)
Instructions
Step 1: Combine all batter ingredients (rolled oats, almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, alcohol-free vanilla extract, and salt) in a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and the oats are finely ground into a batter consistency. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate and thicken slightly.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with about 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil or a spray of cooking oil.
Step 3: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to evenly spread the batter into a thin, round crepe.
Step 4: Cook the crepe for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp and the surface looks set. Carefully slide a thin spatula underneath and flip the crepe.
Step 5: Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed for each crepe.
Step 6: Serve the healthy oatmeal crepes warm with your favorite healthy toppings such as fresh berries, sliced banana, a drizzle of maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
Keep any leftover crepes fresh for up to 3 days by stacking them with parchment paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
To enjoy them warm again, gently reheat your crepes in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds per side, or a quick zap in the microwave until just heated through.
Experiment with toppings beyond the basics: try a spread of cottage cheese and sliced peaches, or a savory twist with scrambled eggs and avocado for a hearty meal!
The secret to perfectly pliable, tear-free crepes is allowing the blended batter to rest for the full 5-10 minutes; this crucial step hydrates the oats beautifully.
