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