Instructions

Prepare the batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.

Pro tip: Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to ensure tender crepes.

Heat the pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of butter or oil.

Pro tip: A well-heated pan prevents sticking.

Cook the crepes

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and tilt to spread the batter evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently lift the edges before flipping.

Keep crepes warm

Transfer cooked crepes to a plate, cover with foil, and keep warm in a low oven (around 93°C/200°F).

Pro tip: Stacking crepes keeps them moist.

Prepare the filling

Spread a thin layer of chocolate hazelnut spread over each crepe and top with banana slices.

Assemble and serve

Fold each crepe over the filling and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Pro tip: Garnish with extra banana slices for presentation.
