BANANA CREPES

Steps:

• Place ingredients in blender or food processor container in the order listed.
• Cover and blend on high 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape sides of container. Blend a few more seconds.
• PAN PREPARATION: If using a non-stick spray shortening, spray pan before heating. Before cooking the first crepe put 1/2 teaspoons butter into pan. If the pan is well seasoned it should not be necessary to add more butter for each crepe.
• PAN TEMPERATURE: Crepe pan is at the correct temperature when the batter sizzles slightly when poured into the pan, and a crepe will cook on one side in approximately 1 minute. (On my stovetop I set to medium-low). Crepes should be pale in color, not dark brown.
• TO COOK CREPES: Two or three tablespoons of batter is usually enough to cover the bottom of a 6 to 7 inch crepe pan. ( I use a 10 inch pan with scant 1/4 cup batter). If necessary adjust the amount needed for the pan you are using.
• Pour in the batter and quickly tilt the pan so the batter covers the bottom entirely. If you put in more than just a thin coating, pour the excess back into the bowl. This will leave a small flap on the crepe but it won't be noticed when the crepe is filled and folded. (Caution: If crepe pan is not hot enough, the whole crepe may fall back into the batter when you pour out the excess. It is important to have the pan at the correct temperature before starting to cook.).
• WHEN TO TURN: The crepe is ready to turn when it begins to set and crisp around the edges. Loosen around the edge with a long thin spatula or knife so you have a starting place to pick up the crepe with your fingers (or the spatula) then simply flip it over. Should it start to tear when picked up, it may not be cooked enough to turn. Cook a few seconds longer and try again.
• Crepe is ready when the second side is set (not wet).
• IF PAN STICKS IN ONE SPOT: Put more butter or oil in the pan and wipe with a paper towel. Once a crepe pan is seasoned, it should not be necessary to add more butter or oil for each crepe. It may be necessary to discard the first crepe or two until the pan is properly seasoned and the temperature is right.
• AFTER THE CREPES ARE COOKED: Stack cooked crepes on a plate. They will be easier to separate if they are not placed squarely on top of each other. It is not necessary to put foil or waxed paper between each crepe.
• PRESENTATION: Crepes can be filled and rolled or folded into quarters.

BANANA BREAKFAST COOKIES

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Measure oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl; whisk to combine. Stir in mashed banana, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, pecans, and chocolate chips. Scoop dough using a scant 1/4-cup measuring cup for form 12 cookies. Flatten the top of each cookie on the baking sheet and bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before storing in an airtight container.

BANANA BREAKFAST MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups or line with silicone baking cups.
• Combine bananas, sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix well. Add oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix until just combined.
• Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 18 minutes.

BEST BANANA WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the banana and use a fork to mash very well.
• Add the oil and eggs, and beat to combine well.
• Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon to the bowl, and stir until just combined.
• Add the milk and stir until just combined.
• Make the waffles according to the directions that came with your waffle iron.
• When one waffle is done, let it rest on a wire wrack, taking care not to stack the waffles (the steam they produce makes them soggy if you stack them on a plate).
• Serve hot with your favorite toppings such a maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, sliced bananas, pecans, whipped cream, or even chocolate sauce, Nutella, or peanut butter on top.

FRUIT-SWEETENED BREAKFAST BANANA BREAD

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan with oil or butter/margarine or line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mash your bananas. Whisk in your milk, oil, vanilla and egg.
• Add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix all together. Don't overmix. The batter will be thick.
• Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked through. The bread should be firm on the outside, yet moist on the inside.
• Let it cool 5-10 minutes before slicing.
