'NANA NUTELLA NIRVANA
THE GOODS
Butter (butter's the best, but Pam or veggie oil is fine too, whatever you've got)
Banana ($0.19)
Nutella ($3.99 for a tub of deliciousness that will melt your world)
Mushu pancakes (Remember these? $1.30 for a pack of 30)
The Grand Total: $5.48 - cheaper if you have chocolate chips and wanna sub them in for nutella
THE WAY
You can choose to make this either crispy or mushy (confession: I've done both). It's kind of like a choose-your-own-ending Goosebumps. I know we all love those.
First, slice up your 'nana. Pop it on a fry pan on medium heat with a tablespoon of butter or oil, or just spray the pan with Pam. Fry it for 5-10 minutes, until the banana starts to caramelize (read: brown) a bit on the outside. Don't stir it: the less you move it around in the pan, the more it will caramelize.
If you want your Nirvana mushy...
Place a mushu pancake flat on a microwave-safe plate. Lay a damp paper towel on the pancake. Cover with another plate face down, so it forms a plate pocket. Microwave for 1 minute. This will steam the pancake
If you want your Nirvana crispy...
Butter/oil/spray a frypan (you can use the same one you used for your bananas if you transfer them to a plate). Lay a pancake flat on the pan and let it warm up for about a minute. Don't let it get too crispy: you still want to be able to roll it up.
Either way...
Once the pancake is warm, spread nutella generously on the pancake. I mean smother that bad boy. Place caramelized bananas in a line on one side and then roll the pancake up like a burrito. Spread some more nutella on the crack to seal.
Eat like a burrito if you must, but I prefer to slice like sushi to make it last longer.
