Tool Requirements
You’ll need a few basic kitchen tools to whip up these tasty pancakes. Grab a large mixing bowl for combining the ingredients. A whisk works great for stirring the batter until smooth.
A non-stick skillet or griddle is key for cooking the pancakes evenly. Make sure it’s heated to medium before pouring the batter. A spatula helps you flip them at just the right moment.
Measuring cups and spoons ensure you get the proportions right. For the best texture, use a 1/4 cup measure to portion out each pancake.
Don’t forget a plate to stack your finished pancakes. A knife and fork come in handy for digging in once they’re ready. With these simple tools, you’ll be flipping perfect pancakes in no time.
Preparing The Ingredients
You’ll need a few key items to whip up these tasty pancakes. Grab some flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the dry mix. For liquids, you’ll want plant-based milk and oil.
The star of the show is the homemade chocolate hazelnut spread. You’ll need hazelnuts, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a touch of vanilla extract. A food processor will come in handy for blending these together.
Don’t forget to set out measuring cups and spoons. A large mixing bowl and whisk are essential for combining everything smoothly. Have a non-stick pan or griddle ready for cooking.
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps them mix better and results in fluffier pancakes. Now you’re all set to create a delicious breakfast treat!
Variations To Try
Want to mix up your Nutella pancake routine?
Try adding some banana slices to the batter for extra sweetness and texture. You can also sprinkle in some chopped nuts for a delightful crunch.
For a fruity twist, top your pancakes with fresh berries or a dollop of berry jam. This pairs wonderfully with the chocolate hazelnut flavor.
Feeling adventurous? Swap out regular flour for buckwheat or oat flour. This gives your pancakes a unique taste and boosts their nutritional value.
Consider making mini pancakes for a fun, bite-sized treat. These are perfect for sharing or as a party snack.
You can also experiment with different plant-based milks. Almond, coconut, or oat milk each bring their own subtle flavors to the mix.
For a decadent touch, try adding a scoop of dairy-free ice cream on top of your warm pancakes. The contrast of hot and cold is simply divine.
Storage Tips
Keep your Nutella pancakes fresh by storing them properly.
Let them cool completely before putting them away. This prevents condensation and soggy textures.
Place a sheet of wax paper between each pancake. This stops them from sticking together. You can then stack them in an airtight container.
Pop the container in the fridge. Your pancakes will stay good for 3-5 days. Make sure to seal the lid tightly to keep out moisture and odors.
Want to save them longer? Freeze those tasty treats. Wrap each pancake in plastic wrap, then put them in a freezer bag. Squeeze out extra air before sealing.
Frozen pancakes last up to 2 months. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or microwave. They’ll taste almost as good as fresh-made.
For the best flavor, eat your pancakes within a few days. The texture and taste are at their peak when they’re freshest.
