Instructions

Prepare the batter: Combine egg whites, almond milk, oat flour, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy, ensuring the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Heat the skillet: Place an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it to prevent sticking. Allow the pan to warm properly before cooking.
Cook the crepes: Pour approximately ⅓ cup of the crepe batter into the heated skillet, swirling gently to form an even, thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side until it is golden and cooked through, about 1 more minute.
Repeat and set aside: Remove the cooked crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, layering the finished crepes as you go.
Add toppings and serve: Once all crepes are cooked, top them with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and TruWhip or your preferred yogurt. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Oat flour can be substituted with whole wheat flour for a different texture and flavor.
Use plant-based milk alternatives suitable to your diet, such as soy or coconut milk.
The batter can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours to save time.
For added warmth and flavor, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
Ensure the skillet is well-heated before pouring batter to prevent sticking and achieve a perfect crepe texture.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free when using oat flour processed in a gluten-free facility.
