Nutella Stuffed Pancake Bites are fluffy, bite-sized pancakes with a warm, gooey Nutella center. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack, these mini treats are easy to make and fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Nutella, frozen into small dollops
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan
- Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
- Fresh berries for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper and spoon small dollops of Nutella onto it. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly greased pancake bite pan, aebleskiver pan, or mini muffin pan over medium heat.
- Fill each cavity halfway with pancake batter.
- Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center of each cavity.
- Cover with a little more batter until Nutella is fully enclosed.
- Cook until golden brown, turning if using a pancake bite pan, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes if using a mini muffin pan.
- Remove and allow to cool slightly.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- Freezing the Nutella makes it easier to stuff inside the batter.
- Do not overfill the cavities to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Serve immediately while the Nutella center is warm and gooey.
- Try using peanut butter or cookie butter as an alternative filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat before serving.
