The Best Fluffy Homemade Nutella Pancakes

These Nutella stuffed pancakes are fluffy pancakes filled with a thick layer of creamy Nutella.
Course: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 12 teaspoons Nutella ®
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (plus more for the griddle)
  • cups all-purpose flour 
  • cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • teaspoon fine salt
  • Confectioners’ sugar, as needed, for dusting

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and drop 12 separate teaspoonful mounds of Nutella onto baking sheet. Freeze until solid, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a griddle or pan over low heat, and brush the surface of the cooking area lightly with oil.
  • Whisk together the flour, buttermilk, oil, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, egg and salt in a large bowl until mixture is smooth.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of batter (to create 8 “pools”) on the hot griddle/pan and cook until bubbles just begin to form on the surface of the pancakes about, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place a disc of frozen Nutella on 4 of the pancakes, and turn the 4 remaining pancakes on top of those, so the wet batter covers the discs. (Put the remaining discs back in the freezer.)
  • Continue to cook the pancakes, flipping halfway, until the edges are set, about 1 minute.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter and discs, lightly oiling the griddle in between batches.
  • Dust the pancakes with confectioners’ sugar and serve warm.
