Would you believe me if I told you these were “light” (and came from a Weight Watchers recipe)?
Or what if I told you these were incredibly easy (as in – you can make them for a family of four in just 15 minutes)?
Or would you believe me if I said they are utterly, completely, irresistibly delicious???
Well, believe it. These chocolate banana crepes are your new excuse to enjoy chocolate for breakfast – they are absolutely delicious!! And it’s true – the crepe recipe actually comes from a Weight Watcher’s recipe and (well, if you use fat-free whipped cream and nix the chocolate chips), they’re only 2.5 points each!! Or, you can go all out and use real homemade whipped cream and bring on the chocolate chips. Yum. :)
Also, for anyone who has never made crepes, they truly are super-simple! The method is just like making pancakes, but they’re a little thinner. So grab your skillet, whatever fresh fruits you love (strawberries, peaches, or pineapple would be great in these!), and give these a go! I guarantee your family and friends will LOVE you!

Description
This chocolate banana crepes recipe is your new excuse to enjoy chocolate for breakfast – they are absolutely delicious, and come from Weight Watchers!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp. unsweetened dutch cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp. powdered sugar (or I used 2 Tbsp.)
- 1 1/2 cups (I used 1% milk)
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tsp. oil
- 3 bananas, sliced
- whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
- chocolate syrup, for drizzling
- chocolate chips, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, milk, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, eggs and oil until smooth. (You can also do this with an electric mixer.)
- Heat a large nonstick pan on medium-low heat, and grease with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup crepe mixture into pan, immediately the pan so that the batter spreads out thin into a large circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottom of crepe is light golden brown. Flip; cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until light golden brown. Repeat with remaining cooking spray and crepe mixture.
- To serve, spoon whipped cream into center of each crepe. Top with sliced bananas and fold each edge of crepe over filling. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and any additional toppings. Serve warm.
- (This batter will also keep in the refrigerator for up to a day.)

Ali’s Tip:
For a shortcut, you can also mix up this batter in a blender! Just throw all of the ingredients in, and process until just-mixed. (Try not to overblend.)
Made these tonight! They were so easy to make and tasted so good! I have an insane sweet tooth which makes doing Weight Watchers challenging sometimes but recipes like this definitely help. Thank you so much for sharing!
they’ve got flour, sugar, and oil. how is this possibly going to help you lose weight???
I can’t think of a better way to eat a banana!! I’m eating mine as I type this, they are wonderful!
I just made these and they were delish!!! I “tweaked” the recipe by using applesauce instead of oil and whole wheat flour instead of white. I also didn’t use chocolate chips or syrup. It was perfect w/o them. I used cool whip free using half the tub for the whipped cream. The total WW points plus according to my recipe builder is 3 points each and I made it to be 6 servings instead of 12. Very satisfying. The crepes were easy to make once I figured it out.
MMMM these look soo good!
These look wonderful! Would it be possible to get the nutrition information from the WW website?
Thank you!
Oooh, my friend made a peanut butter-nutella-banana pie last night and I woke up wanting chocolate and bananas because of it, and now I find this! They’re gorgeous! And I would totally sneak in a layer of nutella under the whipped cream. I can’t wait to try these, thanks!
SINFUL! Can’t wait to try .. even though I’m cutting down on sugar :O!
I made one awhile ago and they were delicious! My kids loved it. I used irish whip creme on mine and added vanilla ice cream on the top so my kids would enjoy it more. The only problem that I’ve encountered was my crepe was a bit overcooked, which made it a bit brittle.
