10 Minute Kid-Friendly Banana Crepes
These super simple banana crepes are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or snack. They're naturally sweet, requiring no added sugar, and are a great way to use up ripe bananas. Ready in just minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 medium Ripe Banana
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Butter or Coconut Oil
Mash the Banana
In a bowl, thoroughly mash the banana with a fork until it forms a smooth paste. Make sure there are no large lumps.
Combine Ingredients
Add the egg and milk to the mashed banana. Whisk everything together until you have a well-combined, smooth batter. The batter should be slightly runny.
Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Add the butter or coconut oil to the pan and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Pour the Batter
Pour a small amount of batter (about ¼ cup) onto the hot pan, spreading it quickly and thinly with the back of a spoon to form a circle.
Cook the Crepe
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom of the crepe is golden brown and the edges start to lift. Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Serve
Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Serve immediately. You can add toppings like fresh fruit (berries, sliced banana), a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

FAQ
-
Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes, you can use frozen bananas. Just make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before mashing. -
Can I add flour to the batter?
While this recipe is designed to be flourless, you can add a tablespoon of flour (all-purpose, whole wheat, or gluten-free) if you prefer a slightly thicker crepe. Be sure to whisk well to avoid lumps. -
Can I make these crepes ahead of time?
These crepes are best served immediately. However, you can make them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for a day or two. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
