Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup oat flour or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • Butter or oil for pan

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 cup of cottage cheese, 3 large eggs, ¼ cup oat flour (or almond flour for keto), ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend on medium speed for 30–45 seconds until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thin and pourable, like classic crepe batter. If it feels thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it easily coats a spoon.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet (8–10 inches) over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with ½ teaspoon of butter or a quick spray of avocado or olive oil. Test the pan’s heat by flicking a tiny drop of batter — it should sizzle gently but not smoke.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan, then quickly lift and swirl the pan in a circular motion so the batter spreads evenly into a thin layer. Work fast — crepe batter sets within seconds once it touches the pan.
  • Cook the first side for about 1–2 minutes, or until the surface looks matte and the edges begin to lift slightly. Slide a thin silicone spatula underneath, loosen gently, and flip carefully. Don’t worry if your first crepe isn’t perfect — it’s your “test crepe,” and it helps season the pan.
  • Cook the other side for another 30–60 seconds, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate or cooling rack and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between each crepe to prevent sticking.
  • Stack the cooked crepes between sheets of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. This also helps retain their soft, flexible texture if you’re storing them for meal prep.
  • When ready to serve, spread your favorite filling — such as Greek yogurt, sugar-free jam, almond butter, or fresh berries — across the center of each crepe. Roll them up or fold into quarters for a classic look.
  • Finish with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup, a dusting of cinnamon, or a spoonful of whipped Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.
