Category: Desserts

 Ingredients List

  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, preferably white whole-wheat (see Tip)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup seltzer water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 medium bananas, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat milk
  • 2 teaspoons confectioners”™ sugar

 Directions

Process whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, milk and oil (or butter) in a blender or food processor until smooth, scraping the sides once or twice. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Slowly whisk seltzer into the batter. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Ladle 1/3 cup batter into the center of the pan; immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread evenly over the bottom.

Cook until the underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a heatproof silicon or rubber spatula, lift the edge, then quickly grasp the crepe with your fingers and flip. Cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Slide onto a plate.

Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan as needed and stacking crepes as you go. If the pan begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium. Cover crepes with a clean kitchen towel or keep warm in a 200°F oven.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted. Stir in brown sugar and bananas. Cook, stirring lightly, until the sugar just coats the bananas, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Stir chocolate-hazelnut spread and milk in a small microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Microwave until warm, about 30 seconds.

To assemble, place a crepe on a clean cutting board. Spread about 1/3 cup of the bananas in the center, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the chocolate-hazelnut mixture. Fold in the sides to make a square shape, leaving a “window” in the center. Press down on the corners, as necessary, to help keep the crepe folded. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Just before serving, sift confectioners”™ sugar over the crepes.
