Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 3 Eggs
- 1 ¼ Cups coconut milk
- ¾ Cup water (approx.)
- 2 Tablespoons neutral oil + more for the pan
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 3 Tablespoons plant-based spread
- ½ Cup brown sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 4 Slightly under-ripe bananas
- ¼ Cup pecans, chopped
- 4 x 5.3oz Containers Oolie Banana Cream Yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the crepe batter by whisking together the flour, eggs, 1 cup of coconut milk, oil, and water (a little at a time) until the batter is the consistency of melted ice cream.
- Heat about a teaspoon of oil in a shallow 9-inch non-stick pan on a medium heat.
- Cook the crepes by adding ¼ cup of batter at a time to the hot pan and tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. After about a minute or so, the surface will start to look dry and the edges will start to lift – time to flip and cook for 30 more seconds to get some color on the other side.
- Keep the cooked crepes under a clean dishtowel so they do not dry out. You should get around 12 crepes from the mix, oiling the pan as needed.
- To prepare the bananas fosters– melt 3 tablespoons of plant-based spread in a second pan. Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, the remaining ¼ cup of coconut milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, and turn up the heat to high.
- Let the sugar caramelize while stirring frequently as it bubbles to emulsify the ingredients and turn it into caramel.
- Slice the bananas and add to the pan along with the chopped pecans and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the stove at this point. The bananas should be served immediately as they will continue to soften as they stand in the warm sauce.
- To build the finished plate – spread a generous amount of Oolie yogurt on a crepe and fold it into quarters. Top the pancake with the bananas and caramel sauce and dig in!
