Instructions



1. To make the Cr�pes:

2. Preheat the oven to 275� F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Coat a nonstick cr�pe pan or 8-inch skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour 3 tablespoons of cr�pe 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 cr�pes 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 cr�pes 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 cr�pes to the baking sheet, seamside up. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until the filling is warm.

Final Comments


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