On Valentine’s Day, it’s always nice to pull out all the stops and make something really special for your sweethearts. If you’ve never tried making crepes, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a go. These thin, tender, pancake-like treats are the perfect envelope for a sweet, creamy pink filling of strawberries and bananas that is sure to brighten the eyes of those you love the most!
Strawberry Banana Crepes
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 Cup flour
- 3/4 Cups milk
- 1/2 Cup water
- 1/2 Tsp kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- butter for sauteing
- 1/4 Cup strawberry preserves
- 1/4 Cup cream cheese
- 2 Bananas, sliced into coins
Instructions
- Place the first 6 ingredients in a blender and puree.
- Refrigerate crepe batter for at least an 1 hour or overnight (this is so the crepes do not tear when cooking).
- Grease a sauté pan (about 6” across) or crepe pan with butter, pour in 2 tbsp of the batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter around into a 6” circle.
- Cook for 1 minute, flip and continue to cook another 30 seconds or until crepe just starts to become golden.
- Remove the crepe to a plate and continue to make remaining crepes.
- In a bowl, combine preserves and cream cheese until smooth.
- Spread some of the cream cheese mixture across the middle of a crepe and top with several slices of banana.
- Fold over the edges to close.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining crepes.
- Serve.

Ah I’d pay almost anythign! you do look stunning in it though, and I think you would be nutso to sell it anyway! 🙂
I made these today twice. My 2 year olds pushed the button on the blinder before I got the lid on… ug… BIG MESS . We did not give up, we tried again. I LOVED them.I am wondering if I should have more for lunch =) So easy to make. I think I will start making the batter before bed. Then put it in the fridge to use in the morning. My 2 year old boys ate the banana’s and licked the cream off. We will have to keep getting them to try the actual crepes . I don’t think they are use to the texture. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I made the strawberry banana crepes this morning but used fresh strawberries instead of preserves and they turned out fantastic. Thanks for the super easy but absolutely delicious recipe!
I really like Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams (?) I may have the wording wrong, but its cocoa and peanut butter spread. I was more of a nutella fan before I found that (and others) that don’t have that weird vanilla ingredient. Crepes are definitely on the menu this week!
Has anyone tried a dairy free version? With soymilk and Earth Balance?
I’m from Quebec and crepes are as common as in France. Did you know you can make a “diner” version with asparagus, cheese, ham, etc? Go creative. They are so delicious. By the way, crepes with Nutella and bananas are insanely good.
Yummy! I have never made crepes before so I did have to look up what heat to put them on (medium heat is what Betty Crocker told me and that actually worked)
Since I saw this a week ago, I’ve made 2 batches– each filling up my dad, my 2 kids and me… with leftovers. I didn’t read the directions till the end and already prepped strawberries…it’s too sweet with preserves and fresh…so the next time we had them with just whipped cream cheese, strawberries and banana.
Second time I made a batch, I melted the butter, got busy, and left it in the microwave only to find it in the morning after the pan was hot…they were still delicious! Then I had a “kids went to bed I want a treat craving” and had some of those crepes with peanut butter and banana.
Thank you for making crepes not scary!
