Easiest Homemade Banana-Nutella Crepe Recipe

There really isn't anything that doesn't go perfectly with Nutella.

It seems that crepes were invented for the sole purpose of housing fresh banana slices and hazelnut-chocolate—at least, that's what will be on your mind as you knife and fork your way through one of these simple but oh-so-decadent sweet treats.

The truth is, dessert crepes of all stripes are special stuff, but nothing quite makes sense like this combination. Nutella, the Italian chocolate-hazelnut spread you might already be obsessed with, is widely available in supermarkets stateside, even though it's more of a European treat, but even standard chocolate sauce will evoke fits of uncontrollable pleasure here.

Let's be real though: Nothing compares to Nutella, so get yourself a jar and get to cooking up these ooey gooey crepes!

Nutrition: 260 calories, 12 g fat (5 g saturated), 18 g sugar

Serves 4

You'll Need

Butter for the crepes
1⁄4 cup Nutella
2 bananas, peeled and sliced
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

For the crepe batter 

1/2 cup flour
1 large egg
1 Tbsp melted butter
Pinch of salt
6 Tbsp low-fat milk
1/4 cup water

How to Make It

  1. Heat a 10" nonstick pan over medium heat. Add enough butter to coat, then add 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter and swirl the pan to cover it in a thin, even film (use a rubber spatula to help, if needed).
  2. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom takes on a deep golden brown color. Flip and slather a tablespoon of the Nutella down the middle of the crepe, then top with a scant quarter of the banana slices.
  3. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until the bottom is golden brown.
  4. Fold the crepe sides over the filling and slip onto a plate.
  5. Top with a few slices of banana and a shake of confectioners' sugar if you like.
  6. Repeat to make three more crepes.
