Oat Crepe

Oat Crepe

Ingredients Oat Crepe

  • 1/2 c oat flour (if you are on a gluten free diet use a brand such as Bob’s Red Mill or you can make your own too by grinding gluten free oats in food processor)
  • 1/4 c egg whites
  • 1/2 cup low fat milk
  • cooking spray

Directions

1. Measure 1/2 cup flour into small bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the egg whites. Start adding milk while whisking briskly to a smooth, thin consistency. Let stand for 5 minutes.

2. While you are waiting, get out a plate to put the finished crepes on and some paper towels to put in between each made crepe as you stack them. Coat a medium size pan with cooking spray and put on high heat for 2-3 minutes, then spray again with one more coating before starting the first crepe.

3. Take a 1/4 c measure cup to scoop out the batter and pour into a small circle in center of the pan, very quickly rock/swirl the pan in a circular motion holding a few inches above the heat to get the batter to thinly coat the pan. Then put it back on the burner.

4. The crepe should look like a super thin pancake. When the edges start to curl up (about 1-2 min) use a large spatula to flip the crepe over. Heat about a minute on the second side (until very lightly browned). Remove from pan and place on plate. Cover with paper towel.

5. Repeat these steps for each crepe.

**Note: as the pan gets hotter the crepes will start cooking faster and may take as little as 30 seconds on each side. Always spray a new coat of cooking spray before making the next crepe. Be sure to put one paper towel (or a piece of paper towel) in between each crepe as you are stacking them to keep them from sticking together.
