Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Crepe, recipe follows
2 1/2 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 banana, peeled
1 ounce chopped walnuts
Pinch sea salt
Special equipment: Bamboo skewers
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

With a sharp knife cut between each skewer. Arrange the pieces with the cut-sides up on a plate. Drizzle with the remaining chocolate, sea salt, and chopped walnuts.

2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat (2 percent) milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter, plus more for skillet
3 bananas, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center. Add milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon butter; whisk to combine. Cover, and refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees; place a baking sheet in oven. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium high. Lightly coat skillet with butter.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use ripe bananas. This will give the topping a sweeter, more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have any pecans on hand, you can substitute another type of nut, such as walnuts or almonds.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crepes. They should be cooked just until they are set, otherwise they will become dry and brittle.
  • If you are making the crepes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you are ready to serve, simply reheat them in a skillet over medium heat until they are warmed through.

Conclusion:

These skinny chocolate crepes with banana pecan topping are a delicious and healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and they can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these crepes a try!
