Steps to Create Your Nutella Stuffed Pancakes
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter will be a bit lumpy — that’s okay!
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface.
- Once the bubbles have formed, add about a tablespoon of Nutella as your pancake filling in the center of the pancake and cover it with a bit more batter (about another tablespoon).
- Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Tips for Making the Best Nutella Stuffed Pancakes
To get the best results, make sure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. I also like to use a cookie scoop to measure the batter; it helps keep the pancakes uniform in size. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding bananas or strawberries along with the Nutella for a fruity twist!
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
These Nutella stuffed pancakes are delightful on their own, but you can elevate them even more! Serve with fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or bananas, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup. You might even want to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for that beautiful breakfast presentation. In my house, we often make a fruit salad on the side; it balances the sweetness of the pancakes perfectly!
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare in my house!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or in a toaster oven until warm. They might not be as fluffy as when freshly made, but they’ll still taste delicious!
Final Thoughts
Nutella stuffed pancakes are a wonderful way to bring a little joy to your mornings. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a regular weekday breakfast, these pancakes will surely brighten your day. I hope you enjoy making these as much as I do — and even more, I hope they become a cherished recipe in your home. Happy cooking!
