Nutella Pancakes – Moist whole wheat banana pancakes drizzled with chocolate-hazelnut spread.
These pancakes are the perfect blend of a little healthy and a little indulgent. The base of the recipe is whole wheat banana pancakes, which are great on their own, but even better when covered in Nutella.
I like to slather Nutella on some of the pancakes and then messily drizzle more of it over the whole stack right before serving. I finish by throwing on sliced bananas and chopped hazelnuts. The bananas make these pancakes surprisingly light and moist.
I found these pancakes to be perfect as is. I did not add maple syrup or butter.
If you’re not a Nutella fan, the same method would be great with peanut butter, since peanut butter and banana are a winning combo as well.
Recipe
Whole Wheat Banana Nutella Pancakes
Ingredients
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas, (about 2 medium bananas)
- Nutella, as much as you want
- Sliced banana, for garnish
- Chopped toasted hazelnuts, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, milk, oil, vanilla extract and mashed banana until combined.
- Mix the flour ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring or whisking until just combined.
- Using a ¼ or ⅓ measuring cup, pour the batter onto a greased skillet or griddle set at medium-low heat. Cook on one side until bubbles evenly form, then flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.
- To serve, spread Nutella on the pancakes or drizzle it over the top (or do both!). Garnish with sliced bananas and chopped hazelnuts.
