Description
Delight in fluffy, golden pancakes stuffed with a rich, creamy Nutella filling. These Nutella Stuffed Pancakes combine a classic pancake batter with a luscious hazelnut spread surprise inside, perfect for a cozy breakfast or sweet brunch treat.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Pancake Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup Nutella (or as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter: Combine the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—in a large bowl using a whisk. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients—milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract—until well blended. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay to keep the batter light.
- Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with melted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto the center of the pancake, then carefully pour a little more batter over the Nutella to seal it inside. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully and cook for an additional minute if needed.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and stack them on a plate. Optionally, drizzle with extra Nutella, maple syrup, or add whipped cream. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious nutty surprise inside each bite.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the Nutella quantity according to your preferred sweetness and richness.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batter.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
