When you’re craving something sweet but still wanna stay on track, these cinnamon roll crepes are the move.
They taste like something you’d grab from a bakery case, but they’re actually high-protein, not loaded with sugar, and you can whip ‘em up in under 15 minutes.
Perfect for breakfast, dessert, post-gym snack… or yeah, basically anytime you’re trying to eat something that feels fun but still fits your goals.
High-Protein, Low-Sugar, Still Tastes Like a Treat
These aren’t your average crepes that leave you starving 20 minutes later. They’ve got oat flour for fiber, egg whites for protein, and a creamy Greek yogurt filling that makes the whole thing feel like a cinnamon roll met a protein shake in the best way.

You get that soft texture, the sweet cinnamon swirl vibe, and none of the sugar crash. Plus they’re super easy to make and you can tweak them however you need—gluten-free, low-carb, whatever works.
Crepe-Making Doesn’t Have to Be Fancy (Promise)
If you’ve never made crepes before, don’t worry. It’s not some high-skill, flipping-art project. You just need a non-stick pan and a little patience.
Couple quick tips:
- Batter should be thin—not pancake-thick, just a lil runny. Add a splash of milk if it’s too gloopy
- Pour, then swirl the pan to spread it out
- Wait till the edges lift up before you even think about flipping
- And yeah, the first one might come out weird—totally normal
Once you get into a rhythm, they’re actually kind of fun to make.
Easy Swaps If You’re Tweaking Your Diet
These crepes are super flexible—like if you’ve got dietary stuff you’re working around, it’s easy to adjust.
- No gluten? Use certified gluten-free oat flour or a GF blend
- Low-carb? Almond flour works, just tweak the liquid a bit
- Dairy-free? Sub the Greek yogurt with a coconut or almond-based one
- No sugar? Use monk fruit, stevia, or any sweetener you like
You can also skip the yolk and double up on egg whites if you want it leaner or just more protein-heavy.
Topping Ideas That Make ‘Em Extra
The cinnamon roll vibe is already doing a lot, but if you wanna add something extra, go for it:
- Sliced bananas, berries, or both
- Crushed pecans or walnuts for some crunch
- Sugar-free caramel or a spoonful of almond butter on top
- A hot cinnamon latte or protein shake on the side if you’re really going for the full treat feel
Good for lazy weekend brunch or late-night “I want something sweet but not junky” cravings.
Meal Prep That Makes Life Easier
These actually hold up pretty well if you want to make ‘em ahead. What I usually do:
- Cook a stack and separate with parchment paper so they don’t stick
- Keep the yogurt filling in a sealed container, fridge
- When you’re ready to eat, just microwave a crepe for like 20 seconds, fill it, and you’re good
- You can even freeze the crepes—just thaw overnight and warm up
Assemble right before eating for best texture. Still super fast and tastes fresh

Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and egg whites until smooth with no lumps.
