• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon

• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (for compote)

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
6. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip to cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.
8. To assemble, take one crepe and spread a generous tablespoon of Nutella in the center, then add a few slices of banana on top.
9. Fold the crepe over the filling to create a half-moon shape or roll it up, if desired.
10. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries on the side for an extra touch.

Tips:

• For added flavor, try mixing a pinch of cinnamon into the crepe batter.
• You can also use strawberries or other fruits along with or instead of bananas for a different twist.
