Coconut Crepes

I just recently a recipe for crepes (see here), but the other day I was feeling creative and decided to jazz them up a bit!

You will need:
1 cup flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1  1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. imitation coconut extract
3 eggs
3 tbsp. of melted coconut oil (Melted butter will work fine)
Additional sugar for sprinkling.

To start:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Pour the milk into a medium sized measuring bowl. You'll want to let the milk sit out for about 10-15 minutes before adding oil. Add the coconut, vanilla, eggs, and oil and whisk with a fork. When hot oil comes into contact with cold milk, the oil thickens and ruins the consistency of the mixture.
3. Pour the dry ingredients in with the wet and whisk until there are no lumps.
4. Grease a small frying pan and turn your stove to medium heat.
5. Once the pan is heated, pour about a 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Tilt the pan until the batter is spread over the whole pan.
6. Let it cook until you can see it solidifying and the edges are slightly brown. Sprinkle some sugar over the surface of crepe then, using a spatula, flip the crepe. Sprinkle more sugar on the other side.
7. Once the crepe is fully cooked on both sides (it should look a lot like a flour tortilla), flip it once more to make sure the sugar melts on both sides.

These coconut crepes are absolutely heaven! They don't even need any toppings because they are already so sweet! Not a fan of coconut? Not a problem! You can use whatever kind of flavouring you like! Almond, coconut, or strawberry extract can all be found on the baking aisle, among other flavours. I hope you found this recipe helpful and enjoy your crepes!

Happy cooking!

The Best Banana Bread

I made this today and it was a huge hit! If you like banana bread, you're sure to love this!

You will need:
1. 3-4 ripe bananas
2. 1/3 cup melted butter
3. 1 cup sugar
4. 1 egg
5. 1 tsp. vanilla
6. 1 tsp. baking soda
7. A pinch of salt
8. 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

OPTIONAL: For a healthier alternative, can use Splenda instead of sugar. I did and it tastes heavenly.

To start:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
2. Mash up bananas in medium bowl and mix with butter.
3. Next, add in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
4. Now, mix in the baking soda and salt.
5. Lastly, mix in the flour.
6. Grease a small loaf pan and pour contents of the bowl into it.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

This recipe makes one loaf, but you can double it for two. I definitely recommend using Splenda. It's light and sweet: total yum-fest! I hope you enjoy this recipe! Happy Cooking!
