NEW AND FUN RECIPES FOR YOUR NEXT CAMPING TRIP
We look forward to the food as much or more as getting out to the campsite – and we are always looking for new menu items. These recipes
will help invigorate the menu planning... and the taste buds.

Bananutella Crepes

Looking for something lighter for the wee hours of the morning? Crepes are simply thin pancakes with added richness from eggs. Leftover crepes can be used as wraps for sandwiches later. You can prepare the crepes completely at home
and simply warm them up for breakfast, or you can make them at the campsite; however, you will need to mix everything at the time you’re planning to make them.
Ingredients (8-10 crepes)
• 3 large eggs
• 1-1/3 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Toppings
• 2 bananas
• 1 cup Nutella
(a chocolate hazelnut spread available in most supermarkets)
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
1. Mix eggs, whole milk, flour, salt, and butter together and blend until smooth.
2. Pour 1/4 cup at a time into a buttered skillet over medium heat. When the edges are noticeably crispy, flip the crepe. Lift the edge with a spatula, then flip with your hands to avoid tearing.
3. Cook until golden brown.
4. Spread approximately 1/4 cup Nutella on each
crepe. Peel and cut bananas lengthwise, using a half for each crepe. Sprinkle with walnuts. Roll up.
5. If preparing ahead of time: Let the crepes cool, then stack them (separated with pieces of wax paper) and put into a large zip-lock bag. Store flat like a stack of tortillas in the fridge. Makes 8 to 10 crepes. Crepes last up to three days on the trail.
