IDEAS ON HOW TO PREPARE THIS CREPES RECIPE
For the purpose of this dish, I used sliced bananas and peanut butter; however, with these same ingredients, you can prepare and combine them in two more options.
- Peanut butter banana mash: instead of slicing the bananas, you can prepare a banana mash and add the peanut butter. Then, you can spread this peanut butter banana mash on your crepes.
- Caramelized banana crepes: in a saucepan at medium heat place the sliced bananas and pour 2 tbsp. of maple syrup. When the sliced bananas are caramelized and cooked to your taste place them on your crepes and drizzle some peanut butter on top.

Make these tasty banana and peanut butter crepes today! This simple crepe recipe is easy to make with yummy ingredients and is great for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
crepes
- 300 ml. of Plant-based milk (I used oats ).
- 125 gr. of Self-raising flour*.
- A Pinch of Salt.
- 1 Tsp. of Sugar.
- 1 Tbsp. of Vanilla extract.
- 1 Tbsp. of Flavourless oil.
- Coconut oil or unsalted vegan butter for cooking.
filling
- 6 Tablespoons of Peanut butter.
- 2 Large bananas.
Instructions
Crepes
- Sieve the flour in a bowl.
- Add the salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional) and integrate well.
- Add the oil then, little by little the milk, and mix well (if you get any lumps sieve all the mix or use a blender).
- For better results, let the crepes batter rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. The longer the better even you can prepare this in advance the day before.
- Place a pan on the burner/ring at medium heat, Wait until it gets warm and add some coconut oil or unsalted vegan butter (around 1 tsp), and swirl the pan to spread the melted oil/butter. It is recommended to do this step each time you cook a new crepe.
- Pour the mix into the skillet, swirling the batter to spread it evenly, and flip the crepe when you see that it is cooked. You don't have to be a professional to do this, you can always use a spatula.
- Place the cooked crepe on a plate.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you finish with the crepes mix** or you can prepare just a few and leave the crepe mix in the fridge for later.
Assemble
- Peel and slice the bananas.
- Place a crepe on a dessert plate and spread some peanut butter.
- Then place the sliced bananas in 1/4 of the crepe. Fold the crepe until you form a triangle (you can fold it in half or prepare this crepe as you like).
- If you wish you can drizzle more peanut butter on top. I only used around 1 tbsp. of peanut butter per crepe, you can use more if you want.
Notes
*Traditionally crepes are made with plain flour, I tried this recipe with self-raising flour and I really like it! If you prefer or have plain flour this recipe would yummy too!
** I got 6 crepes, but the amount to can get can vary depending on the side and how thick or thin you want your crepes.
