Low on funds, but still want a delicious breakfast?
Make crepes I say!
After a friend asked for some low cost recipes I was inspired to make a meal I haven't made in forever, Bananas Foster Nutella Crepes. This recipe has few ingredients, which are low cost, and often in the pantry. Plus, it's a way to use up bananas that are going a bit black.
Here's what you need:
Crepes:
1 large egg
1 1/4 cup of milk
1 cup of flour
1/4 tsp of salt
a little oil for the pan
Mix all crepe ingredients in blender or whisk in a bowl until smooth.
Heat a nonstick or stainless omelet pan.
Brush a bit of oil over the pan.
Pour batter in the pan, enough to coat the pan in a thin layer.
Cook for about 20 seconds and then flip the crepe and cook about 10-15 seconds more or until firm.
Put crepe and repeat process until batter is used up (about 4-6 crepes depending on the size of the pan)
Filling:
1 Tbsp butter
a couple of rotting bananas, sliced into circles
Nutella or Peanut Butter
In another pan melt the butter and add the bananas.
Cook on a medium heat until bananas are pleasantly caramelized.
Spread Nutella or peanut butter on a crepe and put filling over it. Fold over or roll crepe up.
Cost of this meal (enough to feed 4) - maybe $2.00 - $3.00 worth of ingredients, and yet you are eating like a king!
