Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup skim milk or almond milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 extra large eggs
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
- Vegetable oil
- 2 bananas, sliced on a bias into 1/2-inch pieces
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the flour, salt, milk, water, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Pulse for 10 seconds until smooth. Cover and place the crêpe batter in the refrigerator to let rest for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir to combine the 6 tablespoons of the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick pan and lightly brush it with some of the oil. For each crêpe, add 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan, and quickly swirl to coat and spread evenly. Cook over moderate heat until the underside is speckled and lightly golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the crêpe and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 10 crêpes, brushing the pan with the oil as needed.
- In a skillet over moderate heat, add the spiced butter and bananas to the pan and fry until golden brown and crispy on the edges, flipping to caramelize both sides, about 4 minutes.
- Fold the crêpes into quarters and transfer to plates or a large serving platter. Top with the bananas, spoon over the spiced butter sauce, and serve right away.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
