Ingredients
  

For the batter
  • 1 cup rolled oats Base ingredient for the crêpes.
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) Makes the batter fluid.
  • 1 large egg Helps the crêpe set.
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup Adds sweetness to the batter.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Contributes to the aroma and flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil For cooking the crêpes.
Optional toppings
  • fresh fruit For adding freshness.
  • yogurt Provides creaminess.
  • nuts Adds crunch.
  • chocolate chips For added sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the batter until truly smooth by adding the rolled oats, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Blend until the batter looks creamy and uniform.
  2. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
Cooking
  1. Heat a pan over medium and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot surface and immediately spread it into a thin circle.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges look set and lightly golden.
  4. Flip the crêpe and cook the second side for another 2–3 minutes until lightly browned.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as necessary, and serve warm.

Notes

For the best results, give the batter the full rest time and ensure the pan is at medium heat for even cooking.
