Banana Crepes with Macadamia Cream

Raw banana crepes with macadamia cream and fruit filling have become a family favorite in our home. Besides the dehydration time, these delicious treats are quick and easy to make. They are raw, vegan, and paleo friendly, containing lots of vitamin C, potassium, and healthy fiber. Prepare your taste buds for the ride of a lifetime!

Tips for Preparing Raw Banana Crepes and Macadamia Cream

Since the banana crepes need to dehydrate for about six hours, you may want to process them in the morning so that they will be done by dinner. This can also be done the night before. Just give yourself at least a six-hour lead time. Also, since macadamia nuts do not have enzyme inhibitors, you only need to soak them for about 30 minutes for a smoother cream. A food processor does a fine job on the macadamia cream, but a high-speed blender will take it to the next level of creaminess. Feel free to double the cream recipe and use the extra for a fruit dip. It is amazing!
