It's been quite a while since I wrote on this blog. My apologies go out to the 5 people who read the blog. I think that's about all that do...
But I do feel bad for those people, so I offer this beautiful picture of Norway, in hopes that you will forgive me.
Anyway! I'm back! With a delicious recipe!
Banana crepes! AND.... they're healthy!
And not even "bleh" healthy, they taste good too! In fact, I'm eating mine as I type. (Well, in between typing...)
I know, I know. Crazy. But seriously! These things tastes good, they're only 250 calories, and best of all, it's clean! There aren't any added sugars or things, it's all good food.
Look good? Herewego!
Alright, here's the ingredient list:
1/3 c oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 ripe banana (the riper the banana, the sweeter the crepes)
1 egg
1/4 cup milk (I used regular milk, but you can use soy or almond, any kind really)
*Optional:
extra fruits for filling
or syrup, nuts, yogurt, peanut butter
Directions:
1. Mix the dry ingredients, which turns out to just be oats and cinnamon. Blend them into a nice flour.
2. Add the egg, milk, and HALF of the banana. Blend again!
3. Now, heat your pan at just about a number below Medium. Pour some of the mix in a non-stick pan and swirl it around a little, to get it in a nice thin circle.
4. When it starts to bubble, it's time to flip! Then about 30-40 seconds, and take it off to the plate!
So.... my first one didn't turn out so well. It was less of a crepe and more of a scrambled mess. There's no picture of it out of the shear goodness of my heart. Honestly, I'm doing it for you.
My second one was much better! The third one broke a little, but by my fourth try I was a pro. Seriously. I'm thinking of putting "crepe maker" on my resumé.
And guys! I did it! I did the flip! The thing where you flip over the crepe without touching it... yeah. I did that. I'm so proud right now! I feel accomplished in life! Next time, I'll get a video so you can join in my excitement (:
Ok, back to the directions.
5. Remember the other half of the banana? We're gonna use it to fill the crepes! Genius, right?
Here's where you can get creative with you're fillings. I was going to put some strawberries in here too, but I didn't have any. Plus they're expensive. Yah college budget!
But you can fill them with whatever you want...
Other fruits, syrup, nuts, yogurt, peanut butter..... get creative with those puppies!
Well, there ya go! Hope you enjoy. Tell me what you think of them. Can you do the flip??
