# Notes:
01 -
💡 Cooking Tip: Let the blended batter rest for at least 2 minutes before cooking. This allows the oat flour and protein powder to fully hydrate, resulting in crepes that are more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling.
02 -
🔄 Substitution Tip: No oat flour on hand? Blend 2 tbsp of rolled oats into a fine powder as a quick swap. You can also use plant-based protein powder to make this recipe dairy-free, though the texture may be slightly denser.
03 -
🧊 Storage Advice: Store leftover cooked crepes (unfilled) stacked between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the filling and drizzle separately. Reheat crepes in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds before assembling.
04 -
🍽️ Serving Tip: For a meal-prep-friendly version, prepare all components ahead of time and assemble fresh each morning. The cinnamon filling and vanilla drizzle both keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days in sealed containers.
