Ricotta Crepes With Banana and Coconut Caramel
"From Australian BH&G Diabetic Living. They have this listed as a breakfast dish but I honestly believe it would also make a nice dessert as well but at the moment due to our floods a month or so ago bananas are hellishly expensive so will not be on the menu soon but hopefully when the price comes down will make for the DM and DS as I don't care for cooked banana myself but they love them.
TIP - cut cooking time in half and use two separate pans to cook the crepes."

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
