If you want a healthier and lighter version of pancakes, crepes are the way to go. Lately, I’ve been craving sweet things, but I’ve been trying to curb this by eating healthier versions. (Of course, sometimes this doesn’t always work.) They are quick and easy to make, and don’t involve buying many ingredients. If anything, most of them are staples. They make a great snack or dessert; I’ve been making them often for a side during dinner parties. The other wonderful thing about crepes is the variety, as you can literally put whatever you like in them.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 & 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 cup bananas, mashed
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
• 1-2 bananas, sliced
• honey

1. In a small bowl, mix the eggs and milk together. In a larger bowl, mix the flour, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
2. Then, slowly pour the egg/milk mixture into the larger bowl; stir the batter in while pouring.
3. Mash the cup of bananas, and add to the mixture.
4. To melt the chocolate, create a double boiler. Boil a pot of water, and in a smaller pot, place the cup of chips. Hold the smaller pot over the boiling water until the chocolate has melted. Make sure to continually stir the chocolate.
5. Cook on a pan until the outside is browned. Slice up the banana and place the slices on the crepe when cooking. Also, dab some of the chocolate onto the crepe.

Optional: Add honey on top of the crepe for added flavor.
