Prepare the Crepe Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, blend together whole wheat flour, eggs, milk, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and salted butter using a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve for a lump-free batter. Let the crepe batter rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to ensure soft and fluffy crepes. -
Cook the Crepes:
Heat a crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Once the pan is hot, pour enough batter to cover the base. Tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crepe until the bottom is golden, then flip to cook the other side for another few seconds. Transfer the crepes to a platter and cover to keep warm. Continue with the remaining batter. -
Caramelize the Bananas:
Roll the banana slices in brown sugar until evenly coated. In a medium pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sugar-coated bananas and cook until lightly golden on both sides, turning gently to prevent breaking. Continue to caramelize until the bananas are crisp and golden brown. Slice the bananas into small coins. -
Assemble the Crepes:
Lay a warm crepe on a plate. Add a generous amount of caramelized bananas in the center, and drizzle with caramel sauce. Optionally, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgence. -
Serve:
Serve these Crepes Stuffed with Caramelized Bananas immediately as a delightful dessert or a special snack for kids and guests.
Enjoy this deliciously sweet treat that’s sure to impress at parties or any sweet craving!
