List of Ingredients



• -- Crępes --
  
• ˝ cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1 Tbsp sugar
  
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1 cup fat-free milk

Instructions



1. To make the Crępes:
   Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until well combined. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
   
   
2. Preheat the oven to 275° F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Coat a nonstick crępe pan or 8-inch skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour 3 tablespoons of crępe batter into the pan, tipping to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 to 1˝ minutes per side, until lightly browned. Repeat 7 more times with the remaining batter. Stack the crępes as you work and cover to keep warm.
   
   
3. To make the filling:
   Combine the strawberries, banana, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Arrange the crępes on a work surface. Spread each with 1˝ teaspoons chocolate-hazelnut spread in a straight line across the center. Top the spread with 6 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture, then roll up jellyroll style. Transfer the crępes to the baking sheet, seamside up. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until the filling is warm.
   
   Makes 4 servings.

Final Comments


"The key to successful crępes is a pan that allows the crępes to release easily without sticking. Crępes can be made ahead of time, separated with foil, parchment, or waxed paper, then wrapped and refrigerated until ready to use."
