Directions
1.
For crepe batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add milk, egg, oil, and vanilla; whisk until combined.
2.
Heat a lightly oiled 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet with flared side over medium heat. Remove from heat. Spoon in about 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter; lift and tilt skillet to spread batter. Return to heat; cook until top is set and dry (30 to 45 seconds). (Or cook on a crepe maker according to manufacturer's directions.) Invert over paper towels; remove crepe. Repeat with remaining batter, oiling skillet occasionally. (Should have 8 or 9 crepes.) Set crepes aside.
3.
Peel bananas; halve lengthwise, then crosswise. Lightly coat a nonstick grill pan or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Grill or cook bananas for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and softened, turning once. Remove bananas from grill pan or skillet.
4.
In a small saucepan, heat ice cream topping over low heat until heated through. Remove from heat; stir in rum extract.
5.
To serve, divide crepes among eight dessert plates, folding crepes as desired. Top crepes with banana pieces; drizzle with caramel mixture. Sprinkle with pecans. Makes 8 crepes.
