Nutella stuffed pancakes are a wonderful treat that combines the softness of fluffy pancakes with the rich, chocolate-hazelnut flavor of Nutella. Perfect for breakfast or brunch option that's both indulgent and easy to make.
Prepare the Nutella Filling: Scoop spoonfuls of Nutella onto a parchment-lined tray, flatten them slightly, and freeze for 30 minutes or until solid.
Mix the Pancake Batter: While the nutella is freezing, add eggs to a bowl and beat till foamy. Add milk, vanilla extract, sugar, melted butter. Beat well until sugar is dissolved. Now add flour, baking powder and mix well without any lumps. Batter should not be too thick nor too think (pouring consistency) Rest it for 10 minutes.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. When warm, coat with little butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, add a frozen Nutella disk in the middle, and cover the nutella disk with a little more batter.
Cook and Flip: Cover it with a lid. Heat should be on medium low. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve the chocolate filled pancakes with some maple syrup, whipped cream, fruits or more Nutella drizzle for a fulfilling brunch!
Notes
Serve warm with whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup or cut fruits on the side. While making the pancakes, place the Nutella disks back in the freezer. Use one at a time as needed. They thaw pretty fast and may melt easily. You won't be able to use them if they lose their shape.Adjust the amount of milk and flour, if necessary to achieve a smooth and pourable consistency.
