Most Simple 3-Ingredient Oatmeal Protein Crepes

The most simple and healthy Oatmeal Protein Crepes made with just 3 ingredients - protein instant oats, egg white and water! These low calorie high protein crepes are without eggs, and customizable for oat flour and Vegan option too. The perfect gluten free breakfast. 

I've probably had some sort of crepes on my todo list for about 6 months now, if not longer. But they always sounded so fancy.

I think I even tried a recipe for whole wheat crepes once but they were such a big failure. I ended up with too thick a mixture, too high heat and also didn't really grease the pan too well.

So I actually didn't have any plans of posting this recipe; It was more of an "i want to eat protein crepes now" thing. But they were just so easy with the protein instant oats and actually turned out like real crepes, so they deserved a post.

The 3 Ingredients for Oatmeal Protein Crepes Recipe

• Protein Instant Oats I used the Vanilla Slender Oatmeal from ProteinWorld; It's basically microwave quick oats but already has protein powder in it! HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount on your order.
• An Egg White - Even more protein! This also serves as binder in place of whole eggs for a low fat recipe
• Water

And then a bit of coconut oil for cooking.

How to Make Protein Oatmeal Crepes without Eggs

Other than the simple ingredients, these protein powder oatmeal crepes really are super easy to make as well!

1. Process all ingredients - protein oats, egg white and water - in a food processor about 30 seconds until blended.

2. Heat nonstick pan or skillet on medium-low, and grease with coconut oil; Swirl to spread.

3. Scoop out about ¼ cup mixture at a time onto pan, and swirl around to spread into thin circe.

How to know when Protein Oat Crepes are ready:

Cook for about 1-2 minutes.

The top surface should be mostly dry, only slightly wet in the very center.

Flip and cook other side another 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Tips for perfect Healthy Oatmeal Crepes

These 3 ingredient oatmeal crepes are really quick and easy to make, but you need to keep a few things in mind to get them perfect:

1. Use a nonstick pan so the crepes spread evenly and easily and don't stick to the bottom.

2. Medium-low heat to prevent the protein crepes from burning before they cook.

3. Grease the pan well - and spread that oil too - again so that the crepes don't stick to the pan.

4. Swirl to spread the mixture around quickly to spread into a thin circle; This way you have a thin foldable or rollable crepe

5. Let the top surface almost dry out - a sign that the bottom is also cooked completely; This way you won't have to double flip later.

Alternate Ingredients for Protein Powder Crepes

Protein Powder, Egg white and oatmeal crepes:

I would really recommend trying out the protein oatmeal from ProteinWorld here - you can even get the baked oats bundle as is - with that same 35% off using my code HAYLSKITCHEN. IF it isn't available where you are though, here's a substitute you can try:

⅓ cup regular Instant Oats (30g) + ¼ cup Protein Powder (22g); This should give about the same nutrition value and consistency as the original recipe.

Protein Crepes with Flour

If you want to make make oatmeal protein crepes with flour instead, replace the instant protein oats in this recipe with ¼ cup of oat flour (30g) + ¼ cup Protein Powder (22g). Same nutrition value again with the same beautiful taste too.

Make Protein Crepes Vegan

Make oatmeal protein crepes vegan and without eggs, replace the replace the egg white with 2 teaspoon of flaxseed meal + 2 tablespoon Water, or 3 tablespoon of aquafaba (chickpea cooking liquid).

You also want to make sure you use a plant based protein powder for these oatmeal crepes; ProteinWorld has a Vegan one too..

Topping ideas for Low Calorie Crepes
