How to Make Nutella Banana Crepes

Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together room temperature eggs until frothy, about 1 minute. For extra fluffiness, don’t forget to add a teaspoon of vinegar.
Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a small amount of the batter into the pan, tilting it to evenly coat the base. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
Assemble the Crepes: Spread a generous layer of Nutella on each crepe and top with banana slices. Fold or roll each crepe and serve while warm.

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for an extra treat.

Expert Tips for Nutella Banana Crepes

Perfect Skillet Temp: Ensure your skillet is preheated correctly before adding batter; this prevents sticking and helps achieve that ideal golden-brown color.
Cooking Technique: Use a non-stick skillet for best results. If you notice sticking, add a tiny bit of oil or butter to the pan before cooking each crepe.
Egg Tips: Using room temperature eggs is key for creating fluffy Nutella banana crepes. Cold eggs can lead to a denser texture.
Storage Advice: If making crepes ahead of time, layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container to avoid sticking together. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Variation Possibilities: Don’t hesitate to swap ingredients! For a vegan version, replace eggs with applesauce and use a dairy-free chocolate spread for delightful results.

Nutella Banana Crepes Recipe FAQs

What type of bananas should I use for Nutella banana crepes?
Absolutely! When choosing bananas, opt for ones that are perfectly ripe—sweet with a few brown spots indicating the ideal flavor. Avoid overly mushy bananas, as they may affect the texture, and stay away from green bananas as they won’t provide the sweetness you want.

How should I store leftover Nutella banana crepes?
Very! To store your crepes, layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container. They will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you notice your crepes sticking together, that’s a good sign—parchment paper is a lifesaver here!

Can I freeze Nutella banana crepes for later use?
Absolutely! If you’ve made a big batch and want to save some for later, here’s how: Cool the crepes completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between each layer, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and place them in a zip-top freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to indulge, reheat them gently in a skillet or microwave.

What should I do if my crepes are sticking to the skillet?
The more the merrier! To avoid sticky situations, make sure your skillet is properly preheated before adding the batter. You can also add a teaspoon of oil or butter for a non-stick surface. If they still stick, it might be due to the pan temperature being too low; upping the heat a bit can do wonders!

Are these Nutella banana crepes suitable for people with dietary restrictions?
Hmm, I recommend it! If you’re catering to dietary needs: for a gluten-free version, use an alternative flour or stick to the recipe as is, since it’s naturally flourless. For a vegan option, replace the eggs with 2 tablespoons of applesauce or a similar substitute, and choose a dairy-free chocolate spread. Always check the ingredients on your spreads for allergens!

How can I enhance the flavor of my Nutella banana crepes?
Yes, indeed! For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to your batter if using almond milk. Toppings such as toasted nuts, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey can elevate your crepes to another level. The opportunities for enhancing your Nutella banana crepes are endless!
