Easy Spinach and Oat Crepes

Delicious spinach and oat crepes served on a plate

Ingredients

  • 200 ml (about ¾ cup) water
  • 150 grams (about 5.3 oz) fresh spinach
  • 150 grams (about 1 ½ cups) rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sunflower oil (plus more for cooking)
  • Cheese, for serving (your choice)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the water, spinach, rolled oats, eggs, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Blend the mixture until smooth, ensuring there are no spinach leaves left unblended.
  3. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the oats to hydrate, giving the crepes a better texture.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with sunflower oil.
  5. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan and swirl to spread it out evenly into a thin layer.
  6. Cook the crepe for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Flip the crepe gently with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, until set.
  8. Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
  9. Serve the crepes warm with cheese, sprinkling cheese inside before folding them, or creating a crepe “sandwich.”

Recipe Notes

  • If you find the batter too thick, add a splash more water. The consistency should be pourable but not too runny.
  • Make sure your pan is hot before adding the batter; this helps create those lovely crispy edges.
  • Experiment with different cheeses such as goat cheese, ricotta, or feta for varied flavors.
