Chocolate Crepes with Caramelised Bananas & Raspberry Compote (Gluten Free)
These dark chocolate crepes with warm raspberries are a super delicious breakfast, or dessert. A little treat with the gooey caramelised bananas – delicious!

I have rediscovered how amazing chocolate and raspberry is as combinationโIโm not sure how I forgotten it to be honest, but there you go.
And rich dark chocolate with sharp and not too sweet raspberry is pretty special, donโt you think?
So these dark chocolate crepes with warm raspberries are a super delicious breakfast (or dessert)โAnd what could make them even better?
Gooey and caramelised bananas, so you get the rich squidgy chocolate crepes, slightly tangy raspberries and sweet bananasโso good!
Donโt be deceived. Iโve made quite a large portion hereโdefinitely enough for twoโthree if youโre happy to share.
SwapsโIโve used buckwheat flour as I love its nutty taste and of course its gluten-freeโbut you could use white flour for super fluffy crepes.
