Okay, so I can't really figure out what I want to call these delightful little crepe-ish pancake-ish (there I go again!) treats. I was looking for recipes on making tortillas and came across crepes and was inspired to experiment a little between a pancake and a crepe but not quite one or the other. This is what I created. They truly are delightful! If you are doing Paleo, some consider bananas un-paleo. I tried the recipe both ways, with and without bananas. It changes the sweet factor- but still yummy either way. I also made some coconut syrup by accident, what a nice accident! Now what to call them.....
