Chocolate Banana Crepes

Say hello to my new favorite breakfast!  Not only are these delicious and indulgent, they are so easy to make.  I actually think these are easier than regular pancakes.  They cook faster and since they are so thin you don't have to worry about the batter flying off when you flip them over.  Another bonus is that they are so versatile.  They were wonderful with the bananas, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup but you could do any combo you like.  Caramel sauce was delicious with the bananas, and strawberries were perfect with the chocolate sauce.  You could even take it a step further and sprinkle it with mini-chocolate chips or chopped nuts.  





Chocolate Banana Crepes Recipe
from Gimme Some Oven
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. unsweetened dutch cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar (or I used 2 Tbsp.)
1 1/2 cups (I used 1% milk)
2 large egg whites
1 whole egg
1 tsp. oil
3 bananas, sliced
whipped cream (homemade or cool-whip)
Toppings: chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, Nutella, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.

Method:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, milk, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, eggs and oil until smooth. (You can also do this with an electric mixer.)

Heat a large nonstick pan on medium-low heat, and grease with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup crepe mixture into pan, immediately the pan so that the batter spreads out thin into a large circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottom of crepe is light golden brown. Flip; cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until light golden brown. Repeat with remaining cooking spray and crepe mixture.

To serve, spoon whipped cream into center of each crepe. Top with sliced bananas and fold each edge of crepe over filling. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and any additional toppings. Serve warm.

(This batter will also keep in the refrigerator for up to a day.)

Makes 12 servings.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
