| 6 | Rolled oats |
| 1/8 cup | Nonfat cottage cheese |
| 1/8 cup | Water |
| 15 | Eggs |
Instructions
- Begin by spraying a small skillet with cooking spray and setting the heat to low-medium.
- In a blender, combine the rolled oats, nonfat cottage cheese, water, and eggs, blending until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Pour enough batter into the skillet to cover the base, spreading it gently to reach the edges.
- Allow the crepe to cook until the edges begin to lift slightly, approximately 1-2 minutes. Be cautious; if the skillet is too hot or the crepe is undercooked, the whites may run when flipped.
- Carefully flip the crepe, cooking the opposite side for just a few seconds until it’s set but still soft.
- This recipe typically yields about 4 deliciously thin and healthy crepes, perfect for a satisfying breakfast.
