Ingredients
- For 4-5 crepes: 2 eggs - 1 cup of oatmeal or rolled oats - 1 cup of cow's milk or non-dairy milk - ½ teaspoon of vanilla vanilla extract (optional for sweet versions) - 1 pinch salt - oil to grease the pan.
How to make oatmeal crepes step by step
- If you make them with oat flakes, crush them previously with the help of a food processor or a food processor, until they are like a homogeneous flour, without large pieces.
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl: the oats, milk, eggs, salt and, if you are going to make them sweet, the vanilla extract. And beat them with a manual or electric stirrer until they are all well integrated.
- Heat a skillet about the size of crepes over medium-high heat. Pour a thread of oil and grease the entire pan with the help of a pastry brush or kitchen paper.
- Pour in a couple of tablespoons of the batter and move the pan from side to side to spread it over the entire surface.
- Let it set for about 1 minute or so, or until you see the edges start to darken.
- With the help of one or two spatulas, carefully turn it over (oatmeal crepes are more fragile than wheat ones) and let it finish curdling on the other side for a few more moments.
- Remove the crepe, re-grease the pan, let it heat up and repeat the steps with the rest of the batter until it is finished.
- While you are making them, do not stack them directly on top of each other, put a kitchen towel or vegetable paper in between so they do not soften.
