Ingredients for Banana Praline Crepes

  • 6-8 crepes (your favorite recipe)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, for the praline sauce
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, for the praline sauce

How to Make Banana Praline Crepes

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup orange juice to the skillet.
  3. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in 2 sliced ripe bananas.
  5. Heat through for another 2 minutes, until bananas are softened.
  6. 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.
  7. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating well until combined.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  9. Fill each crepe with approximately 1/3 cup of the warm banana filling.
  10. Fold two opposite sides of each crepe inward, then fold in half.
  11. Top each crepe with 1 heaping tablespoon of the praline butter sauce.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
