Let’s Make it Together
Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine rolled oats, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth and creamy. It should look like pancake batter but slightly thinner.
Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter. Let it melt completely before proceeding.
Pour & Cook: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, swirling gently to create an even layer. Cook until edges lift slightly and turn golden brown—about 2-3 minutes.
Flip with Confidence: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula once you see small bubbles form on top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
Stack & Fill: Remove your crepes from the pan and stack them on a plate. Fill each one with your choice of sweet or savory ingredients—fruit, yogurt, or sautéed veggies work beautifully. For more inspiration, check out this whipped Greek yogurt recipe recipe.

Tips
- Keep your batter smooth for perfect Healthy Oat Crepes. A lumpy batter can lead to uneven cooking and texture. Sausage egg breakfast sliders I learned the hard way that a little patience with blending saves a lot of regret at the breakfast table.
- Use non-stick cookware for easy flipping. This ensures your crepes glide off the pan like a dancer on stage. My first crepe tragedy involved a sticky pan and an unplanned breakfast mess that still haunts me!
- Let the batter rest before cooking. This simple step allows gluten to relax, resulting in tender crepes. Trust me, waiting makes all the difference, and it’s an excellent time for coffee!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by heating your non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in a ladle of batter. Let it spread evenly before cooking for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap oat flour with other whole-grain flours or add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also fill them with fruit, yogurt, or even savory ingredients for a delightful twist.

Store leftover Healthy Oat Crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm them in a skillet over low heat to keep them soft.
