Nutella Stuffed Red Velvet Pancakes
Fluffy red velvet pancakes stuffed with melty, rich nutella!
Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons nutella
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Microwave nutella until easily spreadable. Drop 1 tablespoon of Nutella onto parchment paper and use the back of a spoon to spread the Nutella into a 2 inch circle. Repeat with remaining Nutella, 1 tablespoon at a time, so that you have 10 2-inch discs of Nutella. Freeze for 3 hours or overnight. (Doing this the night before serving these for breakfast is perfect!)
- Prepare your pancake batter by whisking together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. In a large bowl mix together buttermilk, oil, vanilla, egg, and food coloring.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. (Do not overmix! It should still be a bit lumpy)
- Preheat and grease a large skillet or griddle to medium heat (about 275 degrees if you have a griddle with a heat gauge) and get your frozen Nutella discs out and carefully peel them off of the parchment paper.
- Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto skillet and allow to cook for about 20 seconds, then gently press one Nutella disc into the center of the cooking batter. Use a spoon to spread the surrounding batter over the top of the Nutella. Allow to keep cooking until edges begin to get bubbles. Flip and allow to cook another 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter and Nutella discs. Should make about 10 pancakes.
- Serve warm topped with chocolate syrup, powdered sugar, and sprinkles if desired.
Notes
Add a dollop of whipped cream to take these over the top!
