Introduction:

Few desserts are as universally adored as Crêpes au Nutella—those thin, delicate French pancakes slathered with creamy hazelnut-chocolate spread. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, as a midday snack (goûter in French), or as a sweet ending to your meal, Nutella crêpes are always a crowd-pleaser.

Soft, buttery, and perfectly golden, these crêpes are simple to make and incredibly satisfying. Let’s dive into this delicious French classic that’s sure to bring joy to both kids and adults alike.

🧾 Ingredients (Makes about 10 crêpes):

For the crêpe batter:

2 large eggs

250 ml (1 cup) milk

125 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour

1 tbsp sugar (optional)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

A pinch of salt

1 tbsp melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)

For the filling:

Nutella (as much as your heart desires!)

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, strawberries, chopped hazelnuts, whipped cream, or powdered sugar

🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and sugar.

  2. Gradually sift in the flour and salt, whisking until smooth.

  3. Stir in the melted butter.

  4. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge). This ensures tender, flexible crêpes.

Step 2: Cook the Crêpes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.

  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling quickly to form a thin, even layer.

  3. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the bottom is golden. Flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.

  4. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 3: Add the Nutella

  1. Spread a generous spoonful of Nutella on half of each warm crêpe.

  2. Fold the crêpe in half, then fold again into a triangle—or roll them up if you prefer.

  3. Add optional toppings like banana slices, strawberries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

Serve warm for the best melt-in-the-mouth experience.

Pair with a hot café au lait, espresso, or cold milk.

Great for brunch, dessert, or even Valentine’s Day breakfast.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations:

No Nutella? Try other spreads like chocolate ganache, peanut butter, or homemade hazelnut cream.

Make ahead: Cook and stack crêpes with parchment between each. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Savory version? Skip the sugar and vanilla in the batter and use for ham, cheese, or egg fillings!

Crêpes au Nutella prove that the most satisfying desserts are often the simplest. Made with love and a few pantry staples, they bring joy to every table—whether in a Parisian café or your own kitchen.

So go ahead: warm the pan, open that jar of Nutella, and let the magic begin.

Bon appétit! 🥞❤️
