nutella crepes with strawberries

The boys’ favorite restaurant is IHOP.  I don’t complain because it is kids eat free in the evening and IHOP serves breakfast around the clock.

That should be the restaurant norm.

Nutella crepes with bananas and strawberriesLately I have been ordering the Nutella crepes and thought I might be able to improve on them at home.  They are very tasty there, but homemade crepes and fresh strawberries are absolutely cravable.

Nutella Crepe Recipe

For homemade crepes, I use a standard crepe recipe:

8 eggs

3 cups of milk

3 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

melted butter to baste the crepe maker

I also use a crepe maker.

I am kinda a kitchen gadget girl, but this is one of the NECESSITIES of a kitchen.  I have had several over the years and this is the one that is currently working.  It makes making crepes super easy.  Back to the crepe recipe…

Mix all the ingredients (except the melted butter) together in a blender until smooth.  Let sit at room temperature for a 1/2 hour.

Baste the crepe maker with melted butter and then dip the pre-heated contraption into a pie plate filled with the batter.  Flip over and let cook for 3 minutes or until done.

Stack completed crepes between wax paper sheets.

Grab your big ol’ bottle of Nutella.

Spread the Nutella onto the crepe and then add sliced bananas.

Roll up the crepe and top with fresh strawberries that are sliced and sprinkled with sugar.

It was very difficult to finish with the photos before I ate this…

…quickly.

So good.

I might need this daily.

Looks delish! I also recently dabbled in making crepes and they were yummy! I did Nutella plus bananas on some and on others I did a squeeze of lemon juice with a sprinkling of sugar! Delish! Oh, and very cool pan – I never knew there were bonafide crepe makers!

I am going to make nutella crepes this weekend, so I am going through lists of nutella crepe recipes now… Your crepes look the poshest so far, but this is most likely because you have your own crepe maker! (*envious eyes*)
