Sweet Banana-Caramel Crepes


These are absolutely divine! They look like a lot of work, but everything acutally comes together really fast... the crepes themselves do take a while just because you have to cook them one at a time.

Sweet Banana-Caramel Crepes
Cocoa Crepes
2 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
3 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla

Banana Filling½ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
5 large bananas, thinly sliced

Caramel Topping
1 ½ tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
½ tablespoons light corn syrup

whipped topping

Make the caramel sauce the night before: Stir in all ingredients for caramel sauce in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring just to a boil, then remove from heat.

In mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Beat in wet ingredients until batter is smooth.
Pour a little over ¼ cup batter onto a non-stick 10 inch skillet and quickly swirl batter until it covers the base of the skillet. Cook until bubbly. Flip crepe and cook until reverse side is light brown.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter and sugar over medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is nearly dissolved. Remove from heat and add bananas. Microwave caramel sauce if you made it the night before. Fill crepes with desired amount of filling, roll and top with caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped topping.
