Banana Foster Crepes

I'm back...and back with a real sweet breakfast treat for you.....Banana Foster Crepes!

I've just discovered crepes in the past year or so....They're lighter than both pancakes and eggs and yet full of protein....(Yeah, right!)

Anyway....I'm betting your local IHOP or diner doesn't serve this....

INGREDIENTS:

Crepes:
1 ½ c milk
1 c flour
2 Tb sugar
1 Tb veg. oil
2 eggs
butter (for cooking)

 Filling:
1/2 C butter
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C heavy cream
3-4 bananas
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 C chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Whipped cream (to top)
*can double the filling

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl combine milk, flour eggs, oil, and sugar. Beat until well mixed. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat, add a little butter and swirl around until melted. Remove from heat. Pour in approx. ¼ C of batter; lift and tilt skillet to spread batter. Return to heat and cook until it starts to bubble then flip it over and cook until lightly browned. Repeat with each crepe, adding more butter to the skillet each time.

 Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over med-high heat. Add the brown sugar, stir and cook for a few minutes. Pour in the cream and whisk to combine. Slice the bananas at an angle then add to the sauce and mix. Add the chopped nuts and cinnamon. Stir over med-high heat until boiling then continue to cook for an additional minute or two. Serve warm inside crepes, drizzle with a little of the caramel sauce and top with whipped cream.
