Hello! You've landed on an older recipe. Sometimes the older recipes aren't written as clearly as they should be or something might need to be clarified. If something seems confusing or a question arises, send me an email and I'll help!

Barley Crepes with Yogurt and Cinnamon-Honey Bananas

Somewhere along the lines, I ended up with quite a few websites that I really enjoy spending time on. Just recently I updated Naturally Ella so that if you are viewing the site on a tablet/smart phone- it should be easier to see and navigate. I've got helpful post lined up for the Wooden Spoons Kitchen blog that I'm really excited to share. Then last night I decided to spend a bit of quality time with my photography site. I love sharing about photography and I feel that Ella Creatives is the perfect space to do so. (and then just for kicks, since I own my name domain, I created a landing page for myself. M will be so proud: I'm embracing my inner nerd).

What I've learned from all of this is: I love teaching. I love being able to share the knowledge that I've learned and gained over the years so that others may also grow and learn. It's such a rewarding experience and I hope that each one of my sites can serve as a learning platform for others whether it be whole foods, photography, or technology.

It feels really good to love what you do.

It also feels good to eat something that seems almost like eating dessert for breakfast.

These crepes make for a wonderful, slightly decadent breakfast. I feel like I combined two of my favorite breakfast (pancakes/yogurt) into one: crepes stuffed with yogurt.

When you look at the ingredients you'll notice that really, these are actually quite healthy. I used minimal sugar because the barley flour and bananas add enough natural sweetness that too much extra would just be overkill. I also suggest grabbing the whole milk greek yogurt ( of course, I've moved fully into whole milk everything because really, what's the point of non-fat?)

Between the barley flour and bananas, these crepes don't need a whole lot of extra sweetness. If you don't have barley flour, use whole wheat pastry flour or sub in oat flour for a good gluten-free alternative. Also, feel free to use melted butter in place of the walnut oil.

  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon walnut oil

  2. Peel and cut banana into 1/2" slices. Combine with honey and cinnamon in a skillet over medium heat. Let simmer, turning bananas at least once, until bananas are tender, 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once crepes are done, smear 1/4 cup yogurt on half of one side. Layer a few bananas on top, folder over, and repeat with remaining crepes*. Spoon honey and left over banana slices over crepes and serve.

    1. I always use my 8" nonstick skillet. I've moved away from nonstick but I keep one just for crepes 🙂

  1. These sound delicious! I need to plan a breakfast for a family reunion do you think I could make the crepes a day or so ahead of time , or better yet freeze them?

    1. Crepes freeze really well! Just separate them with parchment paper when you freeze them!

  2. Hi! Just thought I'd let you know that your contirbutions to Wooden Spoons Kitchen are really great - well written with interesting and relevant info. I really love reading them! Just had a look at Ella Creatives and wow, stunning work. Great all round!

  3. YESSS! Erin, these look tremendous. I have picked up this annoying saying lately: "this is my jam" (i.e. "cooking awesome oats is my jam," "yoga is my jam." etc. etc.) Sam is really, really sick of me saying it about everything, but the moment I saw your recipe, I thought: now THIS is my jam. Love barley, love crepes (I actually have a Buckwheat Crepe recipe with a Honeyed Yogurt that will be published in my book -- different, but distant cousins).

    1. This seriously just made my day (and I really might start using that phrase- I kind of like it 🙂

  4. I made this for my boyfriend and myself over the weekend and we just adored it! Thank you for posting!!

  5. Yum Erin! These look amazing. I made a similar recipe on the weekend only they were pancakes with banana, cinnamon and almond butter. I should try and make them with barley flour and yoghurt next time 😉

    Thanks!

  6. I'm drooling over here! These crepes look amazing. I've never cooked/baked with walnut oil, but I'm very interested to do so.

  7. This is a great and simple breakfast! My 4yr old picky eater loves it. What's not to love ? So good. Thanks!
