by

Light, delicate, and irresistibly delicious, these homemade Nutella crepes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a soft, buttery texture and a rich, chocolate-hazelnut filling, they’re sure to be a family favorite.

Ingredients:

For the crepes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

  • 1 cup Nutella (or any chocolate-hazelnut spread)

For garnish (optional):

  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
  • Chopped hazelnuts

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
  2. Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.
  3. Cook the crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges lift slightly and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook for another 30-45 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Fill the crepes: Spread a generous layer of Nutella onto each crepe. Fold or roll them as desired.
  5. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh berries, and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Crepes:

  • Rest the batter: Letting the batter rest for at least 20 minutes results in more tender crepes.
  • Even heat: Keep the pan at medium heat to avoid burning the crepes while ensuring they cook through.
  • Thin consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it’s the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Serving ideas: These crepes pair beautifully with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
