Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk, divided
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup Nutella or any chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add 1 cup of milk, eggs, and melted butter to the bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl it around to spread it evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- Add the chocolate hazelnut spread to the hot milk and whisk until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate skillet, toast the chopped hazelnuts over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
- To assemble the crepes, place a few banana slices in the center of each crepe. Roll up the crepe and place it on a serving dish.
- Drizzle the hazelnut sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts.
- In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Serve the banana stuffed crepes with a dollop of whipped cream on top and enjoy!
