    I am on a major crepe kick lately and I'm very happy to be taking you along for the ride.

    Crepes are often misconceived as being very complicated and difficult, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, in my personal opinion, I think crepes are easier to make than pancakes!

    First of all, with crepes, you can just put all the ingredients into a blender and combine. No mixing dry ingredients and wet ingredients and dirtying multiple bowls. You can even make crepes with pancake mix!

    Second of all, you don't have to form the perfect shape when you pour the batter into the pan; the pan forms it for you.

    Much like pancakes, you can flavor crepes in many different ways, including making savory or sweet crepes! I love using pumpkin... Or you can make them plain and stuff them with bacon, eggs, and cheese!

    For this recipe I made banana crepes with Nutella.

    And when I say banana crepes, I don't just mean that I topped the crepes with bananas; I mean that there's actual banana IN the crepe batter. Yum!

    ❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

    Not only are homemade crepes absolutely delicious (and so versatile), but they're also quite impress. And believe it or not, they're super easy to make!

    I love these banana Nutella crepes because they're packed with flavor and perfect for a sweet and fun brunch.

    You can make the batter ahead of time (and keep it in the fridge) and even the crepes once made re-heat really well.

    🗒 Ingredients

    Mashed banana is often used in baked goods as an egg replacement, so I experimented a bit with that notion for these crepes and ended up with a recipe that worked perfectly.

    It's a typical crepe batter, but with one less egg than I usually use and about ½ cup of mashed banana (about 1 medium banana) mixed in.

    The full list of ingredients includes (be sure to view recipe card at the bottom of this post for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions):

    • Flour
    • Granulated sugar
    • Salt
    • Whole milk
    • Mashed ripe bananas
    • Eggs
    • Melted butter
    • Vanilla extract

    🍌 How to Make Banana Crepes

    And making the crepes is super easy! All you have to do is put all the ingredients in a blender.

    And blend until smooth.

    If possible, let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. This will result in more tender crepes, but really isn't the end of the world if you're short on time and can't wait.

    You can also make the crepe batter the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight. Talk about an easy breakfast in the morning!

    Now it's time to make your crepes. You can really make them any size you want, but I recommend a 7- or 8-inch skillet. Of course, you can use a crepe pan if you have one, but it's not at all necessary.

    Place the skillet over medium heat and coat it with a little bit of butter (you can use cooking spray if you prefer). Pour about ¼ cup batter in pan and gently tilt skillet and swirl it a bit until batter evenly coats the bottom.

    If you're using a 7-inch pan, you may want to use slightly less than ¼ cup batter. Though I have absolutely no problem with a thicker crepe!

    Crepe batter poured into small pan

    Let the crepe cook for about 1-1 ½ minutes until it's turning golden brown on the bottom and the edges are pulling away from pan.

    You can either use your fingers or a spatula to pull edges up and when ready, flip.

    Crepe cooking and turning golden in pan

    Cook for another minute before removing crepe from pan to a plate.

    Continue this process with remaining batter, adding a little butter to pan in between each crepe.

    I'd say that's the only tough thing about making crepes... You really have to do them one at a time unless you have multiple pans. But once you have the process down, it's easy to hustle and bustle around the kitchen getting other things done while your crepe is cooking.

    🍫 Adding Nutella to crepes

    Banana crepes are absolutely delicious as is, but banana and Nutella make one of the best flavor combinations in the world, so I highly recommend taking your banana crepes to a whole other level with Nutella.

    I like to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread across the entire side of a crepe and then place banana slices on half the crepe.

    Use as much (or as little) Nutella as you like.

    I may have gone a tad bit overboard.

    Fold the crepes over, drizzle with a little more Nutella, top with more sliced bananas, and sprinkle on some powdered sugar.

    And enjoy for... Well, for any meal you want.

    Are banana crepes with Nutella a decadent breakfast or a delicious dessert? I think it all depends on your mindset. Plenty of people spread Nutella on toast in the morning, so why not spread it on a crepe instead?

    Your family will be thrilled when you serve this brunch to them on a lazy Sunday morning!

    Oh, and just a little note that this also makes the best Valentine's Day brunch or dessert for any sweet tooth in your life!

    These crepes do taste really indulgent, but in the best way. I love that the banana flavor in the actual crepe really shines through.

    I ate some of the leftover banana crepes with just a little maple syrup on them (though really, nothing beats the Nutella!). I wouldn't blame you if you added on some whipped cream, too! But some more fresh fruit also works.

    ⏲️ Can I make ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make crepe batter 1-2 days before you're ready to use it. Just be sure to remove from fridge about 30 minutes before you're ready to make the banana Nutella crepes so it can come to room temperature.

    If you want to go one step further, you can even make the crepes ahead of time as they reheat really well.

    For best results, let crepes cool and then stack with wax paper in between each. Wrap tightly and keep in fridge for up to 3 days. You can either pop back in a pan with a little butter to reheat or simple put them in the microwave.

    I don't recommend filling them with Nutella and sliced bananas until right before you're ready to eat them.

      These were delicious! I was looking for a recipe with the banana IN the crepe instead of just as a topping and we all loved these. Will definitely make again!
