Ingredients
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 3-4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate or caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to remove air bubbles.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to evenly coat the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the crepe is lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
- Prepare the Banana Filling: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the bananas are slightly caramelized and softened.
- Assemble the Crepes: Place a few spoonfuls of the caramelized bananas down the center of each crepe. Fold the crepes over the filling or roll them up.
- Serve: Serve the banana crepes warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, or drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce. Add whipped cream for an extra treat!
Enjoy your Banana Crepes, a light and sweet dish that’s perfect for any time of day!
