I like to griddle up a big batch of my fruit-filled crepes for parties. The fresh citrus flavor really brightens them up. —Freda Becker, Garrettsville, Ohio

Ingredients

2 large eggs
3/4 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
2/3 cup orange juice
6 medium firm bananas, peeled and sliced
Fresh raspberries, optional

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together first six ingredients; let stand 20 minutes.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of pan. Quickly lift, tilt and rotate pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook crepe until top appears dry; turn over and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed.
For sauce, place butter, sugar, orange zest and orange juice in a large skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium; add bananas to warm.
To serve, spoon bananas onto crepes; fold into quarters. Top with remaining sauce and, if desired, raspberries.

Health Tip: Try these crepes with more wholesome filling: sliced bananas, strawberries, Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of granola for crunch.

These clips are quite delicious. My personal preference is to have them filled with a whipped cream mixture. And then top with the bananas and sauce. Great flavor!

I didn't use the filling but the crepes themselves were great and quicker than the average recipe.

Great recipe. We cut up the banana and added black berries. My husband had his with pinapple and the sauce was a little thin so we put 2 tbs cornstarch to thinken it up. Came out fantastic.
