Banana Nutella crepes are thin crepes with mashed banana in the batter, filled with warm Nutella and fresh banana slices. An easy breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crepe batter:

  • 2 medium bananas (230 g)
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 cups + 2 1/2 tablespoons (500 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml) water, room temperature
  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons (150 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons (40 g) butter, melted

For garnish:

Instructions

  1. To make the crepe batter, place peeled bananas, eggs, and a pinch of salt in a blender or a food processor and blend until homogeneous. Pour in half the milk and beat for a few seconds. Transfer the preparation to a large bowl.
  2. Add the sifted flour and mix with a hand whisk or an electric mixer. Finish with the rest of the milk and water and mix until no lumps remain. To remove lumps, if desired, pass the batter through a fine-mesh sieve. Add melted and cooled butter and let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes; better for half an hour.
  3. Cook crepes on a well-heated crepe pan. Pour a small ladle of the batter into the center of the pan. Immediately swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin layer. Let the crepe cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side.
  4. Then, use a flexible turner to flip it over to the second side to finish cooking. Cooking time depends on the heat level (keep it medium or medium-low) and your taste. Place the crepe on a plate and continue with the remaining batter.
  5. To garnish crepes, place Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it in the microwave for 20-second intervals. Stir with a spoon until spreadable. Peel and slice bananas into thin slices, then sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  6. Spread Nutella (1-2 tablespoons) over half of the crepe, and arrange slices from 1/3 of the banana on top of the spread. Fold the crepe over the unfilled half to form a half-moon. Then fold in half again to form a triangle.
  7. Serve one or two on a dessert plate. Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle with chopped toasted hazelnuts for extra flavor. Or make an easy Nutella drizzle if desired.

Notes

  1. Read all the tips and tricks in the post devoted to basic crepes.
  2. Warm up Nutella in a water bath instead of using the microwave.
