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.
