Chocolate Banana Crepes
Chocolate banana crepes are a sweet and indulgent dish made with soft crepes, ripe bananas, and rich chocolate. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!
Ingredients
For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp melted butter
For the chocolate filling:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 ripe bananas (sliced)
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts)
- Extra chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the crepe batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until smooth.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Make the chocolate sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate with heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the crepes: Place a crepe on a plate, spoon some chocolate sauce in the center, and add a few banana slices. Fold or roll up the crepe around the filling.
- Optional toppings: Top with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy your delicious chocolate banana crepes immediately while warm!
Notes
- For an extra indulgent treat, you can caramelize the bananas with a bit of butter and brown sugar before adding them to the crepes.
- If you prefer dark chocolate, you can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
