Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Ice cream scoop (for even batter portions)
How to Make Nutella Pancakes
1. Make Nutella Discs (For Stuffed Version – Optional)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spoon 1-2 tablespoon portions of Nutella onto the sheet and spread them into small circles.
- Freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix!
5. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- For regular Nutella pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden. Drizzle Nutella on top before serving.
- For stuffed Nutella pancakes: Pour 2 tablespoons batter, place a frozen Nutella disc in the center, and cover with another 2 tablespoons of batter. Cook as usual.
6. Serve & Enjoy!
Stack the pancakes, drizzle with warm Nutella, and top with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream, or hazelnuts!
What to Serve with Nutella Pancakes
- Fresh berries or banana slices for a fruity contrast 🍓🍌
- A dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness
- A dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch
- A side of bacon or eggs to balance the sweetness 🥓🍳
Tips for the Best Nutella Pancakes
- Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay! Overmixing makes the pancakes dense.
- Cook on low to medium heat so the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Freeze Nutella discs for the stuffed version—this prevents them from melting too quickly.
- Use buttermilk for extra fluffy pancakes (or make your own with milk + vinegar).
- Keep pancakes warm by placing them in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while cooking the rest.
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Place pancakes in a single layer on a tray, freeze, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet over low heat or microwave in 30-second bursts.
