Learn how to make delicious Banana Cream Crepe Rolls with Caramel Drizzle & Granola. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (you can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (whole or 2%) – I prefer whole for richness
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the whipped cream)
  • Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, about 1/2 cup)
  • Granola (about 1 cup, preferably toasted for extra crunch)
  • Optional: chopped nuts or additional fruit for topping

When I first started making crepes, I remember how finicky they seemed. My grandma always told me, “Patience, Emma, and a good non-stick pan are your best friends.” Feel free to experiment with substitutions—if you prefer a dairy-free version, coconut milk works beautifully, and a vegan caramel sauce can easily replace traditional caramel.

Instructions

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil. I’ve learned that a good non-stick pan makes all the difference in getting those perfect, thin crepes without tearing.
  2. In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend or whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes—this helps the gluten relax and results in more tender crepes.
  3. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the hot pan, quickly tilting and swirling to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. While the crepes cool slightly, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. I love making this part feel like a little treat—my grandma always said, “Add a dash of love,” and I do, every time.
  5. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over each crepe, then add a few slices of banana along one edge. Roll up the crepe tightly, pressing gently to secure. I find that rolling from the banana-filled side gives the best shape and makes each bite more flavorful.
  6. Arrange the rolled crepes on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce—warm it slightly if needed to make pouring easier. Sprinkle with toasted granola for that perfect crunch and a hint of sweetness. Feel free to garnish with chopped nuts or additional fruit for a colorful touch.
  7. Serve immediately, or chill for about 30 minutes if you prefer a cooler dessert. I often make these the night before for a brunch brunch or a special breakfast—trust me, they taste just as good when slightly chilled.
