Finding a breakfast recipe that is both nutritious and appealing to toddlers can be a challenge. These Banana Crepes are the perfect solution! They are easy to make, packed with natural sweetness, and can be topped with a variety of healthy options. Plus, they’re fun for little ones to eat, especially when you get creative with how you cut and serve them.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 cups flour

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine the bananas, milk, and melted butter. Blend until smooth. Add the flour and blend again until you have a smooth batter.
2. Heat the Pan: Grease a non-stick pan with a little butter or oil and place it over medium heat.
3. Cook the Crepes: Pour some batter into the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly, covering the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start browning and bubbles form on the surface. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe and cook for another minute, or until it is cooked through.
4. Serve: Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Spread peanut butter and banana slices, or any toppings of your choice, onto the crepes before serving.

Why This Recipe is Great for Toddlers and Families:

1. Nutritious: These crepes are packed with the natural sweetness of bananas and provide a good source of potassium, vitamins, and minerals. Using whole milk adds calcium and protein, making this a balanced meal.
2. Kid-Friendly: The soft texture of the crepes makes them easy for toddlers to chew and enjoy. The mild banana flavor is appealing to young taste buds, and you can customize the toppings to suit your child’s preferences.
3. Versatile: These crepes can be served with a variety of toppings. Try spreading them with peanut butter, nutella, or cream cheese and add fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or apple slices. You can even sprinkle a little cinnamon or drizzle with honey for extra flavor.
4. Easy to Make: With just a few simple ingredients and steps, this recipe is quick and easy to prepare. It’s perfect for busy mornings when you need a nutritious breakfast that doesn’t take a lot of time.

Different Ways to Cut for Toddlers:

• Roll-Ups: Spread your toddler’s favorite filling on the crepe and roll it up tightly. Slice into small, bite-sized pieces that are easy for little hands to pick up.
• Triangles: Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to create a triangle. This shape is easy for toddlers to hold and bite into.
• Strips: Cut the crepe into thin strips that are easy for toddlers to pick up and eat on their own.

Substitutions

2 cups milk: 2 cups non dairy milk

2 cups flour: 2 cups almond flour

2 tbsp butter: 2 tbsp canola oil or coconut oil

Storage Instructions:

• Refrigerator: Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a warm pan for a few seconds before serving.
• Freezer: To freeze, place a piece of parchment paper between each crepe to prevent sticking and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
