Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons Nutella softened in the microwave for easy mixing
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour the base of our fluffy pancakes
  • 3 1/4 teaspoons baking powder for that perfect rise
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar to add a touch of sweetness
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt to balance the flavors
  • 1 large egg binds everything together
  • 1 cup milk for moisture and fluffiness
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil adds richness and helps with browning
  • Fresh fruit for garnish like sliced strawberries or bananas (optional)
  • Maple syrup for serving because every pancake needs a drizzle!

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

Stepwise Method: Nutella Pancakes
  1. Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, whisking them together until well blended.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter or vegetable oil, egg, milk, and softened Nutella. Make sure the Nutella is fully incorporated into the mixture.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
  4. Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to grease the surface. Make sure it’s hot before adding the batter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Stack your pancakes high and garnish with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even an extra dollop of Nutella if you’re feeling indulgent!

Notes

  • Prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat pancakes in a toaster or microwave until warmed through.
