Ingredients
milk
3/4 cup (Use whole milk or your preferred dairy/non-dairy substitute.)
flour
3/4 cup (All-purpose flour works well.)
egg
1 (Large egg, beaten.)
salt
1/8 teaspoon (Adjust to taste.)
cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon (Ground cinnamon.)
sugar
2 teaspoons (Granulated sugar.)
butter
4 tablespoons (Unsalted butter, melted.)
pecans
1/4 cup (Chopped pecans.)
bananas
4 (Slightly firm, peeled and sliced.)
caramel syrup
1/2 cup (Store-bought or homemade, for drizzling.)
Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, egg, salt, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside to rest while you prepare the filling.
2
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
3
Pour a quarter cup of the crepe batter into the hot skillet, immediately swirling the skillet to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the edges begin to lift and the surface bubbles, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly golden. Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on the plate.
5
In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped pecans and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6
Add the sliced bananas to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
7
Drizzle with 1/3 cup of caramel syrup and cook for an additional minute, stirring gently to coat the bananas and pecans in the syrup.
8
To assemble, place about 1/3 cup of the banana-pecan filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides and ends over the filling to create a neat package.
9
Transfer the filled crepes to a serving platter, seam sides down, and generously drizzle with the remaining caramel syrup. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
