breakfast, food, Sunday

It has been a wet and cloudy weekend here in Bilbao and I had promised my husband chocolate crepes for breakfast since yesterday…ooops. So this morning, I got out of bed, made my coffee (because I do not function very well without it ☕️) and whipped up some chocolate crepes, filled and topped with banana slices.

Ingredients
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• half tbsp icing sugar
• 1 tbsp dark cocoa powder
• half teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 bananas

Method
1. Combine all the ingredients into a big bowl and beat with an electric mixer, mix for about 5 to 8 mins.

2. Leave to stand for 10 mins and start preparing the skillet. Once hot, add a little butter and scoop the batter into the skillet.

3. Swirl the batter around the skillet till its thin. Flip the crepe, place the banana slices and fold the crepe in half. After a few seconds, it should be ready.

Top with banana slices and dust with icing sugar…

You can also add any fruits of your choice…bananas, strawberries, raspberries etc.

A great start to a cloudy day and a beginning of a new month!

Have a wonderful Sunday! 💞

food, Sunday

It has been a gloriously sunny Sunday, so earlier today we decided to head out for pintxos in Plaza Nueva in Old Town Bilbao and basked in the beautiful sunshine. We were lucky to get seats outside as it was so busy. I think everyone had the same idea today…to enjoy good pintxos in the sun…😊

After which we went for a long walk towards The Guggenheim and stopped for ice creams at Amorino…
