Steps

Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and water. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until smooth. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
Rest the batter: Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps create more tender crêpes.
Prepare the filling: While the batter rests, peel and slice the bananas.
Cook the crêpes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center, and immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin circle.
Cook for about 90 seconds, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Slide the crêpe onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Assemble and serve: Lay a crêpe flat, arrange a line of banana slices and a sprinkle of chocolate chips down the center. Fold the crêpe in half, then in half again to form a triangle, or simply roll it up. Serve warm.

Tips

For a perfectly smooth batter, you can blend all the batter ingredients in a blender for 20 seconds.
Don't skip the resting step! It allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid and results in a much better texture.
Control the heat of your pan. If it's too hot, the crêpes will cook too quickly and become brittle.
