Melt-in-your-mouth coconut crepes and a sweet caramelized banana sauce are a match made in heaven in these killer crepes! They’re gonna steal the show at any brunch!
The long-awaited return of the crepes, you guys. Very loooooong and much-anticipated.
We seem to like crepes a lot around here judging from the popularity of these ones and these killer guys. So I feel it’s my duty to feed all of our crepe addictions. I’m sure you don’t mind.
And if you do mind…well, I’ll just take your portion of coconut crepes with EXTRA caramelized banana sauce, okay?
Also, on that same topic. Holy moly, these are my and soon to be your crepe soulmate. Don’t let my words sway you though, just see for yourself. >>>
So these crepes start off with my basic batter that I use for ALL our crepe madness around here. I switch things up a little bit and throw coconut milk into the mix which seriously makes these crepes even MORE tender and melt-in-your mouth. << obsessed.
Also on my list of obsessions currently would be the sauce adorning every inch of these crepes.
It’s like caramel sauce on steroids because it features soft caramelized bananas which might as well just apply to top EVERYTHING from now to the end of time.
And if I have my way…it definitely will.
The finishing touch for these beauties is just a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a hefty dusting of powdered sugar. Don’t we make pretty brunch food around here?
Pretty and pretty dang amazing to chow down on. And speaking of which…shall we???

Ingredients
Crepes:
- 3/4 cup coconut milk

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 3 large ripe but slightly firm bananas, sliced

Instructions
