Method

  1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

  2. Drop 12 separate teaspoonful mounds of chocolate-hazelnut spread onto the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Tap the baking sheet on a counter to flatten the dollops.

  4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it freeze until solid, approximately 15 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, preheat a griddle over low heat and lightly brush it with oil.

  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, buttermilk, oil, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, egg, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth.

  7. Pour eight 2-tablespoon pools of batter onto the hot griddle.

  8. Cook the pancakes on the griddle until bubbles start to form on the surface and the bottoms turn golden, which will take about 1 to 2 minutes.

  9. Take 4 of the cooked pancakes and place a disc of frozen chocolate-hazelnut spread on each one.

  10. Place the remaining 4 cooked pancakes on top of the ones with the spread, so that the wet batter covers the discs.

  11. Return the remaining discs of chocolate-hazelnut spread to the freezer.

  12. Continue cooking the pancakes, flipping them halfway, until the edges are set, which should take approximately 1 minute.

  13. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and discs, making sure to lightly oil the griddle between each

Nutella-Stuffed Pancakes: A Delicious Twist to Start Your Day

Who doesn't love pancakes? Fluffy, golden, and oh-so-delicious, they are a breakfast staple that never fails to put a smile on our faces. But what if we took it up a notch? What if we added a gooey, chocolatey surprise in the middle? That's right, we're talking about Nutella-stuffed pancakes, a delightful twist that will take your pancake game to a whole new level.

The Magic of Nutella

Nutella, the creamy hazelnut spread that has captured the hearts of millions around the world, is the perfect addition to pancakes. Its smooth and rich texture, combined with the irresistible taste of hazelnuts and chocolate, creates a heavenly filling that oozes out with every bite. It's like a little surprise waiting to be discovered, making each pancake a delightful adventure.

How to Make Nutella-Stuffed Pancakes

Making Nutella-stuffed pancakes is easier than you might think. Start by preparing your pancake batter, just like you would for regular pancakes. Then, heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and pour a small amount of batter onto the pan. Next, add a dollop of Nutella in the center of the pancake. Finally, cover the Nutella with more pancake batter, making sure to seal it in.

Cook the pancake until bubbles start to form on the surface, then carefully flip it over and cook until golden brown on both sides. The result? A stack of fluffy pancakes with a gooey Nutella surprise in the middle. Is your mouth watering yet?

Endless Possibilities

One of the best things about Nutella-stuffed pancakes is that you can get creative with your toppings. Whether you prefer fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dusting of powdered sugar, the options are endless. Each bite will be a burst of flavors and textures, making breakfast a truly special occasion.
