World Nutella Day: The ultimate Nutella crepe recipe

So it's World Nutella Day! Not that we need an excuse to indulge in Italy's most sought-after spread but if we did, today would be it.

Thankfully, there are a number of places around London you can visit for a taste of the hazelnut breakfast table favourite. However, if a night in with your own Nutella creation is more what you had in mind, why not try out this mouth-watering recipe for cinnamon crepes with Nutella®, banana and pecans?

Ingredients (serves 4)

100g whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1 large egg

300ml milk

2 sliced bananas

Handful of roughly chopped pecans

60g Nutella® (1 heaped tsp of Nutella® - 15g - per portion)

Olive oil spray for frying

Method

1.) Sift flour, cinnamon and pinch of salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre, break in the egg and pour in half the milk. Whisk together, to make a smooth thick batter. Beat thoroughly, then stir in the remaining milk.

2.) Heat a little oil in medium frying pan. Pour 2 tbsps of batter into the pan, tilting the pan as you pour, so the batter coats the base. Cook over moderate heat until underside is golden brown (approx. 30 – 60 secs).

3.) Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, then slide on to a plate. Heat a little more oil to cook the remaining pancakes. When ready to serve, spread a thin layer of Nutella® on top of each pancake & top with sliced banana.
