Easy Healthy Oat Crepes

Oat Crepes

These easy and healthy Oat Crepes are making a comeback on my blog! I explain below!! I think they certainly deserve their very own blog post!

One of the very first posts on my blog was about 5 quick and healthy breakfast ideas. This was almost 4 months ago! These crepes were one of the 5 healthy options.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, at least in my opinion! So, I am always looking for healthy options rather than processed food which is full of preservatives, sugar, and lots of unwanted things. These crepes are a healthy and quick option even for a busy morning as everything is dumped in a blender! Anyone who loves oatmeal will love this, and it just might convert the oatmeal haters too! 😄

Healthy Oat Crepes

These easy oat crepes are a staple at my house for breakfast! I love making them as they are healthier than pancakes or regular crepes and have no processed all-purpose flour in them. I make them every week and my kids love them, so it’s a win-win situation at breakfast time!

This is not my original recipe, it is based on this recipe from the website powerhungry.com.

How do you make these Easy Healthy Oat Crepes? 

In a blender, add the whole grain oats, blend the oats to a flour consistency. ( does not have to be very fine). 

Add the milk, vanilla essence, egg, and sugar.

Blend the mixture till it is all mixed up well.

Easy healthy crepe batter
The crepe batter will be thin.

Pour your mixture into a bowl. It will be a thin batter. Remember to stir every time you make a crepe as the oats will settle at the bottom. 

Heat up a non-stick pan on medium heat. When hot, spread a little butter, pour a spoonful of batter into the pan. Swirl the pan around so the mixture spreads into a circle. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 2 minutes. 

Flip after 2 minutes. Cook on the other side for another 2 minutes. 

Take the crepe out of the pan, spread with Nutella, Strawberry Jelly, peanut butter, etc

Enjoy your breakfast crepes!

Notes:

  • Use whole grain oats and not instant oats. Make sure to powder the oats first in your blender. 
  • Maple syrup can be used instead of sugar. A pinch of salt can be added to balance out the flavors.
  • If you want savory crepes, skip the sugar and add some salt instead. 
  • The most important part is making sure you use a non-stick pan.
  • Stirring the batter every time you make a crepe is necessary as the oats will tend to settle at the bottom. 
  • Do not try to spread the batter with a spoon or spatula, just swirl by moving your pan around. 
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled. This recipe only makes about 6 crepes which are perfect for my kids. 
  • I’m sure these can be made in advance and frozen too! I have not personally tried but If you do let me know if it works for you. It’s actually so easy to make so I have not found a reason to freeze them. But I’m sure if you are a mom who likes to meal prep and plan ahead this might be a good recipe to make and freeze.
