Ingredients

Crepe Batter

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, for pan

Filling and Topping

  • 1 & 1/4 cups Nutella (or other chocolate-hazelnut spread)
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, thinly sliced
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the salt, sugar, and flour, whisking until well combined and free of lumps. Set the batter aside to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk again before cooking.
  2. Heat the pan: Warm a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt about 1 teaspoon of butter, swirling it to coat the bottom of the pan until it foams.
  3. Cook the crepe: Ladle in 1/4 cup of batter in the center of the pan, then immediately lift the pan and swirl so the batter spreads thinly and evenly over the bottom. Return the pan to heat and cook until the batter is just set and the underside is lightly golden, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  4. Flip the crepe: Loosen the edges with a spatula or your fingers, then gently flip the crepe in the pan. Cook for another 45 seconds until lightly golden on the other side.
  5. Transfer and repeat: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-buttering the pan each time as needed. Discard the first crepe if it tears or is too pale.
  6. Warm the Nutella: Heat the Nutella in the microwave just until loosened and spreadable.
  7. Assemble the crepes: Spread 2 tablespoons of Nutella over half of each crepe to form a half-moon shape. Layer 1/4 cup of thin banana slices over the Nutella.
  8. Fold the crepes: Fold the uncovered half of the crepe over the bananas, then fold in half again to create a rough triangle.
  9. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious Banana Nutella Crepes!

Notes

  • Resting the batter helps produce tender crepes and allows the flour to fully hydrate.
  • If the first crepe tears or cooks unevenly, discard it as it often acts as a test to calibrate your pan's temperature.
  • You can substitute whole milk for a dairy-free milk alternative if preferred, though it may alter the texture slightly.
  • Use ripe bananas for optimum sweetness and softness.
  • For easy flipping, use a thin spatula and be gentle to avoid tearing the crepes.
  • Nutella can be replaced with any chocolate-hazelnut spread of your choice.
