Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (355ml) low fat milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 Tbsp real maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups (160g) oat flour
- 3 Tbsp (29g) all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp (28g) melted butter
For Cooking
- Avocado oil or olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a blender, combine the low fat milk, eggs, real maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add the oat flour, all purpose flour, salt, and melted butter. Cover and blend on low speed for about 10 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, spray the interior surface evenly with avocado or olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the crepes: Pour a scant 1/3 cup of the crepe batter into the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer covering the bottom.
- Flip the crepe: Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then use an offset spatula to gently lift one edge and flip the crepe to the other side. Cook this side until it is just golden brown, reducing the heat slightly if necessary to avoid burning.
- Transfer and repeat: Move the cooked crepe to a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. If the batter thickens as it rests, thin it out by adding a few tablespoons of milk for easier pouring.
- Serve: Keep crepes warm by stacking them folded into fourths or wrapped in a tea towel. Enjoy with your preferred toppings or fillings.
Notes
- Using oat flour makes the crepes healthier with added fiber and a nutty flavor.
- Adjust the batter consistency with milk if it thickens during resting for perfect thin crepes.
- Cooking spray helps prevent sticking and makes flipping easier.
- Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, or savory fillings as preferred.
