Baked Banana Crepe – Clean & Delicious®
The urge is to call this recipe a pancake but the truth is that only those that eat super clean and/or have specific fitness goals would actually consider this a pancake.
If you are reading this, you are probably one of those people.
For me, this recipe very much satisfies a pancake craving although it is more ‘eggy’ than ‘bready’ and therefore I went with crepe. Besides, when my hubby tasted it, he thought it was a crepe so that was one more reason I went with it.
It’s simple. It’s fast. And it’s made with 2 base ingredients; egg and banana.
This recipe (or some form of it) has been sweeping the ‘health/paleo/fitness/clean-eating blog’ world for some time now and I’ve seen lots of people cook this in a pan just like you would a regular pancake. But every time I tried to do this myself it never worked.
The idea to bake it came from Tiffany of the Gracious Pantry (a blog dedicated to clean eating recipes – check it out if you haven’t already!). Not only does baking it create perfectly cooked and delicious results but it also frees you from the time of ‘stove-time’ cooking. Just pop it in the oven and you’re done.
This is a great alternative for anyone who is gluten-free or simply trying to cut back on processed carbs. It’s also an ideal pre-post workout meal due to it’s high protein and quick acting, natural carbs.
And because my kids inhale it every time I make it, I can say with confidence that it is also delicious for those who simply like good food (no dietary restrictions required).
Be sure to check back later in the week, because I am sharing a video for my Banana Almond Pinwheels using this banana crepe as the base.
