Ingredients
  

Crepe Batter

  • 100 g GF Pancake Mix I used *GF Oats Australia Pancake Mix
  • 150 ml Almond Milk
  • 1 tbsp Flaxseed Meal

Carmelised Banana

  • 1 Ladyfinger (or regular banana) sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp Raw Sugar

Simple Caramel Drizzle

  • 50g Raw Sugar
  • 50 ml Water

Additional Garnishes

  • 4 tbsp Sweetened Vanilla Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Walnuts or Granola **See Notes
  • 2 tbsp Hazelnut Spread
  • 1 tsp Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

Simple Caramel Drizzle

  • Combine water and sugar in small saucepan over medium heat. Allow to simmer until reduced by half. Let cool while you prepare the crepes. Syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.

Crepes

  • Whisk ingredients, batter consistency should be a bit more loose than normal pancake batter.
  • Heat saute pan over medium heat, add a knob of butter and swirl to coat pan
  • Here comes the art of the crepe making – I like to pick up the heated saute pan and drop about 1/4 of the loose batter into the center of pan. Working quickly, begin to circle your wrist allowing the batter to spread out evenly around the entire diameter of the pan. Return the pan to heat and allow the crepe to cook for 2 minutes on this side.
  • Using a plastic spatula, begin to test the edges for doneness by lifting around the entire outside of the crepe. Using either the spatula or your fingers, quickly flip the crepe over to cook 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Carmelised Banana

  • Slice banana in half lengthwise. Sprinkle sugar on each side of banana. Add a bit of butter to the saute pan and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.

Crepe

  • Add sweetened vanilla yogurt to inside of crepe, serving with carmelised banana, hazelnut spread (if using), granola, and drizzle of caramel syrup. Top with powdered sugar.
