How to Make Banana Praline Crepes
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup orange juice to the skillet.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
- Gently fold in 2 sliced ripe bananas.
- Heat through for another 2 minutes, until bananas are softened.
- While the banana filling simmers, prepare the praline sauce: In a small mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating well until combined.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Fill each crepe with approximately 1/3 cup of the warm banana filling.
- Fold two opposite sides of each crepe inward, then fold in half.
- Top each crepe with 1 heaping tablespoon of the praline butter sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
