Paleo Banana Crepes with Chocolate Fudge Sauce Recipe

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

• 6 large organic free-range eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted plus more for the pan
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Whisk together all ingredients in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes while the pan heats so the coconut flour can absorb the liquid, then whisk again.  Note: If you find the batter is too thin, add another couple teaspoons of coconut flour, and whisk again.
2. Heat a crepe pan or iron skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Place 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in the pan and coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
4. Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the hot pan, turning the pan in a circular motion with one hand so the batter spreads thinly around the pan. Alternatively, very quickly use a spatula to spread the batter.  Fill any holes with a drop of batter, making sure the pan is fully covered.
5. Cook for 1 minute until the edges start to lift. Gently work a spatula under the crepe and flip it over. Cook on the second side for 15 seconds and turn out onto a plate.
6. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on the plate as you work. Add a little more oil to the pan after about every 3 or 4 crepes or if they begin to stick.

Chocolate Fudge Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut milk, warmed
• ½ cup unsweetened cacao powder
• ¾ cup pitted dates
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Note: If the dates are not fresh, soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes to soften before blending.

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds on high, until smooth. Serve as-is or warm over medium heat for 5 minutes for hot fudge sauce.
2. Place a crepe on a plate. Slice bananas in a row across the crepe. Roll-up the crepe and drizzle chocolate fudge sauce across the top.
