Servings 2 about 4 crepes
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup rolled oats blended into oat flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
- A pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Butter or coconut oil for cooking
Make the Batter
Blend the oats into a fine flour if you haven’t already. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sweetener (if using), salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the oat flour and stir until smooth.
Cook the Crepes
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to spread the batter evenly.
Flip and Finish
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then gently flip with a spatula. Cook for another minute until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve and Enjoy
Stack your low cal crepes on a plate and serve warm with fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
