Oatmeal Crepes
By Wafa — 100+ tested recipes
Oatmeal crepes are a simple and gluten-free recipe, perfect for a nourishing breakfast or snack. A healthy and delicious alternative to traditional crepes.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 150 g blended rolled oats (oat flour)
- 50 cl milk
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- a little sugar (according to your preference)
Instructions
- 1Start by blending the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you reach a fine, consistent texture similar to flour.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract if using. (A smooth batter ensures a supple and light texture.)
- 3Whisk all the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and homogeneous, making sure to remove any lumps.
- 4Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter. (Using a little coconut oil between each crepe adds a lovely aroma.)
- 5Pour in a small ladle of batter and spread it out. Cook until the edges pull away from the pan, then flip to brown the other side.
Tips
- To save money, buy whole rolled oats and blend them yourself.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if you have celiac disease.
- The batter may be more delicate to handle since there is no gluten; this is normal.
Substitutions
- whole rolled oats → ready-to-use oat flour — skip the blending step by using store-bought flour

Frequently asked questions
Is it important to blend the oats to make oatmeal crepes?
Yes, it is important to blend the oats to achieve a smoother, more consistent texture in your crepes, although it isn't strictly mandatory. If you choose not to blend them, the texture will be heartier and grainier.
Can you freeze oatmeal crepes?
Yes, oatmeal crepes freeze very well. Place them between sheets of parchment paper and store them in a freezer-safe bag.
Are oatmeal crepes truly gluten-free?
Yes, but only if you use certified gluten-free oats. While oats themselves do not contain gluten, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat.
