Tips For Making Nutella Stuffed Pancake

  • Use overripe bananas for sweeter, softer pancakes. The spottier they are, the better: that’s where the flavor hides.
  • Freeze the Nutella first if you want neat, gooey centers that don’t leak while cooking. It’s a little trick that makes a big difference.
  • Keep the heat gentle and steady. Rushing it only burns the outside before the inside gets its moment.
  • Stack your pancakes on a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm while you finish the batch. Or sneak one fresh off the pan, I won’t judge.

Recipe FAQ’s

Can I Make The Batter Ahead Of Time?

Yes, you can mix the batter a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the fridge. Just give it a quick stir before cooking.

How Do I Keep The Nutella From Burning?

Cook over low to medium heat so the Nutella melts gently inside without burning the pancake exterior.

How Do I Make Them Extra Fluffy?

Don’t overmix the batter. Stir gently until the ingredients come together, and let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking.

Ingredients 
 

Pancakes:

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or cooking oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup self raising flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener or white sugar/coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup Nutella melted *See Notes

Nutella Fudge Sauce (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions 

  • Mash the banana well in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, butter (or oil), vanilla and milk until combined. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt; fold through until just combined, Whisk lightly to get rid of any lumps.
  • Heat a nonstick pan or skillet over low-medium heat. Pour less than 1/4 cup (2 tablespoons) of batter onto the pan **See Notes*. Before the pancake sets; spoon 1 teaspoon of the melted Nutella onto the centre of the batter and spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of pancake batter over the top to seal in the Nutella. It works best if evenly covering the Nutella in a zig-zag motion. (Use this chocolate stuffed churro pancakes recipe for pictures if needed.)
  • Repeat with remaining batter and Nutella.
  • Serve with sliced bananas and a drizzle of Nutella fudge sauce.
  • Nutella Fudge Sauce:
  • Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm and slightly thinner. Alternatively, place Nutella in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (being careful not to have any water touch the Nutella, or it will seize), until heated through. Mix the milk through, whisking until a glossy sauce forms.

Notes

*Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm and slightly thinner. Alternatively, place Nutella in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (being careful not to have any water touch the Nutella, or it will seize), until heated through.
**Don’t worry if it looks smaller than an average pancake! They will become larger when adding the extra batter over the top. Don’t be tempted to add any more than the recommended 2 tablespoons for the base, or you will have a mess. Trust me.

    Hi! Your Nutella pancake recipe is inspiration for the gods! My son and I made them this morning. We did, however, make a slight modification, if you would like to know. We added mascarpone to the melted nutella in the middle. I think you might need to try that. I believe you will be modifying you recipe from then on, if I may be so bold.
