Instructions
- 1
In a blender, combine flour, milk, eggs, and oil, then blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- 2
Place a nonstick crepe pan over medium-low heat. Once it’s warmed up, lightly coat the bottom with cooking spray.
- 3
Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, tilting the pan gently to ensure an even, thin layer.
- 4
Allow the crepe to cook for 1 minute or until the underside turns a light golden brown.
- 5
Carefully flip the crepe; cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it reaches a light golden hue.
- 6
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue the process with the remaining batter until you have a total of 6 crepes.

For the banana filling, melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over low heat.
- 8
Incorporate the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- 9
Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes.
- 10
Gently introduce the sliced bananas into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bananas become glossy and well-coated with the sauce.
- 11
Remove the skillet from the heat.
- 12
To assemble, place a generous 1/3 cup of the banana mixture in the center of each crepe and fold the sides over to enclose the filling.

Top each crepe with 2 tablespoons of ice cream, drizzle with the pan juices from the bananas, sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve immediately.
