Down for a Decadent Delight - Bananas Foster Nutella Crepes

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. 

Crepe batter from The Moosewood Cookbook.

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!
