Ingredients
  

_For the Crepes:_

1 cup oats (blended into flour)

2 large eggs

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

_For the Cinnamon Filling:_

2 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp butter (or coconut oil, melted)

_For the Cream Cheese Topping:_

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

2 tbsp Greek yogurt

1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: a splash of milk to adjust consistency

Instructions
 

Make the Crepe Batter:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended oats, eggs, almond milk, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well-combined. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

      Prepare the Filling:

        - In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, then combine it with the sugar-cinnamon mixture until it forms a paste.

          Cook the Crepes:

            - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting and swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom.

              - Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is a golden-brown. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

                Fill the Crepes:

                  - Once the crepes are cooked, spread a tablespoon of the cinnamon filling on one half of each crepe. Fold the crepe over and then in half again to create a triangle shape. You can also roll them up if you prefer.

                    Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping:

                      - In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a splash of milk if needed.

                        Serve:

                          - Drizzle the cream cheese topping over the filled crepes. Optionally, sprinkle with additional cinnamon or crushed nuts for extra crunch and flavor.

                            Enjoy:

                              - Serve warm and indulge in your delicious, protein-packed cinnamon roll crepes!
