Why We Love This Nutella Banana Crepe Recipe

This recipe feels indulgent without being complicated. It’s the kind of dish that looks impressive on the table but doesn’t require any special equipment or techniques. The contrast between the soft, sweet crepes, warm bananas, and rich Nutella is downright irresistible.

It’s also endlessly adaptable—perfect for brunch, dessert, or even a cozy breakfast-for-dinner situation. And honestly? Watching people’s faces light up when they see a platter of crepes never gets old.

This recipe stays true to the idea of classic crepes—thin, tender, and lightly flavored—so the toppings can take center stage. By skipping leavening and keeping the batter simple, the crepes cook up soft and flexible, making them ideal for folding around Nutella and warm bananas. The result feels elegant but approachable, just like a traditional crepe should.

Key Ingredients for a Nutella Banana Crepe

• Milk – Adds richness and helps create a smooth, pourable batter.
• Eggs – These give the crepes structure while keeping them tender and flexible enough to fold without tearing.
• Water – Lightens the batter so the crepes cook up thin and delicate instead of pancake-thick.
• Flour – The foundation of the crepe, providing just enough body without heaviness.
• Nutella – The star of the show. Creamy, chocolatey, and perfect for melting into warm crepes.
• Bananas – Naturally sweet and soft, they caramelize beautifully and balance the richness of the Nutella.
• Butter – Adds flavor and helps the bananas cook into a silky, glossy sauce.
• Brown sugar – Deepens the sweetness with warm, caramel-like notes.
• Kahlua – Adds a subtle coffee flavor that makes the bananas taste extra indulgent and dessert-worthy.
• Mini chocolate chips – Because more chocolate is always the right answer—and the minis distribute perfectly.
• Whipped cream – Light, airy, and the perfect finishing touch to balance all that richness in these banana crepes.
• Salt – just a pinch of salt helps balance the sweetness in the crepes and enhances all the flavors without making them taste salty. It brings out the richness of the eggs, the warmth of the caramelized bananas, and makes the chocolatey Nutella taste even more pronounced.

How to Make Nutella Crepes with Bananas

First, combine the flour, eggs, milk, and water in a large bowl. Whisk until the crepe batter is completely smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thin—closer to heavy cream than pancake batter. This is key for delicate crepes.

Next, heat a 9-inch sauté pan or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the bottom of the pan

with oil. Once the pan is hot, add about ¼ cup of batter to the center of the pan and immediately swirl it in a circular motion around to evenly coat the bottom.

Cook until the edges start to get golden brown and lift away from the pan. Flip the crepe and cook the second side for about 10 seconds, just until set. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.

While the crepes rest, it’s time for the bananas. Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the banana slices and sauté for about a minute.

Then, sprinkle in the brown sugar and stir gently. The sugar will melt, coat the bananas, and start to thicken into a glossy sauce after about 2–3 minutes. Add the Kahlua and cook for one more minute, then remove from heat.

To assemble, spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella over each crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Arrange on a platter and top generously with caramelized bananas, mini chocolate chips, extra Nutella, and whipped cream. Serve immediately while everything is warm and melty.

When the sauce has thickened, remove from pan and set aside until you’re ready to pour them over the crepes. Reheat if necessary in the microwave.  If you’re reheating on the stove top, add some more butter if the sauce has thickened too much.

Plate the crepes on a large platter and top with bananas.  Top with mini chocolate chips, additional Nutella if desired, and a little whipped cream!

Entertaining Tip

Hosting brunch? Set up a crepe board. These crepes are great at room temperature so stack the crepes on a platter and let guests build their own with bowls of Nutella, bananas, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and any extra toppings you love (strawberries or chopped hazelnuts are great here). It’s interactive, fun, and takes the pressure off plating everything yourself.

Storage Instructions

• Crepes: Store plain crepes stacked with parchment paper between each one in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Bananas: The caramelized bananas are best fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day and gently reheated.
• Assembled crepes: These are best enjoyed immediately, while warm and fresh.
