Banana Nutella Crepe Recipe
Ingredient List: [Per 2 Servings]
- 4 crepes (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preparation Instructions at Home
- Prepare the crepes: If you’re making homemade crepes, cook them ahead of time according to your favorite recipe and let them cool. Store-bought crepes can be used as well.
- Assemble the crepes: Spread Nutella evenly on each crepe. Place the banana slices on one half of the crepe.
- Fold and store: Fold the crepes in half over the bananas, then fold again into quarters. Wrap each crepe in foil or parchment paper and store them in an airtight container.
Finishing Instructions at the Campsite
- Reheat the crepes: Heat crepes in foil packets over the fire. Or, place the folded crepes in the skillet (lightly buttered if desired) and warm them for about 1-2 minutes on each side, just until the Nutella is melty and the crepe is heated through.
- Heating at home? Warm the crepes in a lightly buttered skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side.
- Serve: Dust the crepes with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately.
Tips for the Perfect Banana Nutella Crepe
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your banana nutella crepe will be. This adds a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the Nutella.
- Keep it simple: If you want to save even more time, consider using store-bought crepes, which are readily available in most grocery stores.
