Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Bananas (ripe, sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for banana filling)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup or caramel sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it around to coat the surface evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until set. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate and covering them with a clean towel to keep warm.
In a separate skillet, melt the butter for the banana filling over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until the mixture begins to bubble.
Add the banana slices to the skillet, gently tossing them to coat in the caramel sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bananas are softened and caramelized. Remove from heat.
To assemble the crepes, place a few spoonfuls of the caramelized banana filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up to enclose the filling.
Serve the crepes warm, topped with whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup or caramel sauce, if desired.
