  7. Spray the pan with non stick spray
  8. Pour 45g (1/4 c) of the crepe batter into the greased hot pan and tilt the pan so that the batter covers all of the bottom of the pan.

  10. Will make 10 Crepes. Macros for 1 Crepe C1.5 F3.5 P5

You can make just the Crepes and fill them with whatever filling you'd like (Orange Cinnamon Filling, Greek Yogurt,  Peanut Butter, Jelly, Nutella, Whip Cream, Cottage Cheese etc.)
