Banana Foster Crepes combine two of my favorite desserts – homemade crepes and bananas fosters! This slimmed down make-over is delicious and perfect anytime you”re craving something sweet!
INGREDIENTS
For the Crepes (makes 6):
1/2 cup all purpose or white whole wheat flour
3/4 cups 1% milk, or milk of your choice
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon oil, olive or grapeseed
nonstick spray
For the Bananas Foster:
1 1/2 teaspoons salted butter, coconut oil for dairy-free
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 medium ripe bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices on the bias
3/4 cup vanilla ice cream, or dairy-free ice cream
INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, blend flour, milk, eggs and oil until smooth.
Heat a nonstick crepe pan on medium-low flame. When hot, spray with cooking spray to coat bottom of skillet.
Pour 1/4 cup crepe mixture into pan, swirling pan slightly to make crepe thin and smooth.
Cook for 1 minute or until bottom of crepe is light golden brown.
Flip; cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until light golden brown.
Set aside on a plate and repeat with remaining crepe mixture until you have 6.
For the bananas, melt the butter over low heat in a large non-stick skillet.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover and let the sauce simmer about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced bananas, gently spooning the sauce over each piece and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bananas are glossy and coated with the sauce.
Remove from heat.
To serve, spoon a generous 1/3 cup of the bananas in the center of each crepe and fold the left and right side of the crepes to cover.
Top each crepe with 2 tablespoons ice cream, and any pan juices from the bananas on top, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve right away.
