One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is make a nice breakfast. I enjoy making something a little special (like these crepes!) that takes a bit more time to prepare than the usual weekday breakfast. It’s so nice to sit at the table with family and enjoy a thoughtful breakfast while sipping hot coffee.
For something a bit different than pancakes for your weekend breakfast, try these Oat Flour Crepes. The batter comes together very quickly and they cook quite fast.
This crepe recipe is a great option if you are looking to omit gluten or all-purpose flour from your cooking. Don’t worry if you don’t have oat flour. Simply put oatmeal into a food processor and pulse until ground.
What’s great about crepes is they can be sweet or savory. If you want a savory crepe you can add sauteed vegetables, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, and scrambled eggs. For sweet crepes, try adding Nutella, fresh strawberries, fresh bananas, peanut butter, cream cheese, or spiced apples. With so many different fillings and combinations, crepes are a great option for everyone.
- In a mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients and whisk until combined.
- Heat a 12" skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. When hot, pour in about 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl the pan to evenly distribute. The batter should cover the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 30-60 seconds until the bottom is lightly browned and the batter on the top begins to look set.
- To flip the crepe, gently loosen the edges with a rubber spatula and then using your fingers flip over the crepe. Cook another 15-30 seconds until lightly golden. Remove from the pan and stack the cooked crepes on a plate. Continue until all the batter is used.
- Fill the crepes with your desired filling and either roll them or fold in quarters and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
