Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter plus extra for greasing the pan
  • ⅓ cup Nutella
  • 1 ⅓ cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • chopped hazelnuts optional
  • maple syrup optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a griddle pan or electric griddle on medium low heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to combine and remove any lumps.
  • In a small bowl whisk the melted butter into the Nutella. Add the milk and eggs and whisk until smooth. 
  • Add the Nutella mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk together to combine.
  • Grease the pan or griddle lightly with butter and use a ladle or measuring cup to pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 45 - 60 seconds until bubbles start to form and pop, and the underside is golden brown. Flip the pancakes over and cook an additional 30 seconds until the other side is browned as well. Repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes have been cooked. 
  • Top pancakes with chopped hazelnuts and syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • Cook pancakes no higher than medium low heat. If the heat is too high, the outside of the pancake will cook too fast and the middle will still be raw.
  • If you like thinner pancakes, add additional milk to thin out the batter.
 

Substitutions and Variations

  • Mini Pancakes - Use only ⅛ cup of the pancake per batter to make mini Nutella pancakes.
  • Dippers - Pour the batter into 3-4 inch strips that are about 1-inch thick for a fun pancake shape to dip into syrup!
  • Pancake Mix - This recipe includes instructions for homemade batter, however the pancakes can be made with pancake mix instead. Adding the Nutella does make the batter a little bit thicker, so additional liquid may need to be added to thin it out.
  • Toppings - Sliced Bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, chopped pecans or sliced almonds, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, caramel sauce, buttermilk syrup, peanut butter, biscoff spread or whipped cream are all great toppings for these Nutella pancakes.
 

Make Ahead and Storage Instructions

Nutella pancakes can be cooked ahead of time and frozen for use later. Allow them to cool completely and then place them on a sheet pan to freeze in a single layer. Transfer frozen pancakes to a zip top bag or airtight container and then keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Leftover Nutella pancakes will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
