Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they form a fine powdery consistency, similar to oat flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and honey (if using) until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it immediately to evenly coat the bottom of the pan into a thin layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes as you go.
To assemble, spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta filling onto each crepe and top with a generous handful of diced strawberries. Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately, optionally drizzling with more honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
