• 3/4 cup vanilla ice cream (or dairy-free ice cream)

1. In a blender, blend flour, milk, eggs and oil until smooth.
2. Heat a nonstick crepe pan on medium-low flame. When hot, spray with cooking spray to coat bottom of skillet.

5. Flip; cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until light golden brown.
6. Set aside on a plate and repeat with remaining crepe mixture until you have 6.
7. For the bananas, melt the butter over low heat in a large non-stick skillet.
8. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, stir until the sugar is dissolved.
9. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover and let the sauce simmer about 2 minutes.
10. Add the sliced bananas, gently spooning the sauce over each piece and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bananas are glossy and coated with the sauce.
11. Remove from heat.
12. To serve, spoon a generous 1/3 cup of the bananas in the center of each crepe and fold the left and right side of the crepes to cover.
13. Top each crepe with 2 tablespoons ice cream, and any pan juices from the bananas on top, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve right away.
