Ingredients
Scale
For the Pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Nutella Filling:
- ½ cup Nutella (or more, depending on how much you want to use)
For Topping (Optional):
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Bananas, sliced
- Whipped cream
- Extra Nutella for drizzling
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pancake batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be lumpy.
- Cook the pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat until all the pancakes are cooked.
- Assemble the pancake stacks:
- Spread a thin layer of Nutella on top of one pancake, then stack another pancake on top. Continue stacking pancakes and spreading Nutella between each layer until you have a tall stack.
- Add the toppings:
- Drizzle more Nutella over the top of the stack and garnish with sliced strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately and enjoy these indulgent Nutella pancake stacks with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing juice!
Notes
- For an extra indulgent treat, you can add chopped hazelnuts or chocolate chips between the layers.
- Feel free to mix up the toppings with your favorite fruits, such as blueberries, raspberries, or even a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.
- If you want to make the pancakes lighter, you can use almond milk or a non-dairy butter alternative.
