For the filling, you’ll need one tablespoon of nonfat cream cheese, one tablespoon of plain nonfat Greek yogurt, a quarter-teaspoon of vanilla extract, a quarter-teaspoon of Truvia all-natural sweetener and half of a medium banana, sliced.

First, combine all of the crepe ingredients in a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth. Then, heat an eight-inch skillet sprayed with nonstick spray over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add half of the batter, swirling it to completely cover the bottom of the pan.

Allow the crepe to cook until the underside is thoroughly cooked, which should take about two to three minutes. Flip the crepe and allow it to cook for another minute. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, remembering to coat the pan with nonstick spray as needed.

While your crepes are cooking, prepare the filling by mixing together the cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla extract and Truvia. Once your crepes are ready, spread the filling mixture in the middle of each one, and lay slices of bananas on top. Fold each side of the crepe over the filling and top with any remaining banana slices.

For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle with additional unsweetened cocoa powder. Enjoy these Chocolate Banana Crepes as a delightful breakfast, brunch or dessert!
