Easy Nutella-Filled Mini Pancake Bombs Recipe
Introduction
These easy Nutella-filled mini pancake bombs are a delightful treat that combines fluffy pancakes with a gooey chocolate-hazelnut center. Perfect for breakfast or a fun snack, they bring a playful twist to traditional pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups of all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- ½ tsp of baking soda
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1½ cups of milk
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- Nutella
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined. Add the vegetable oil or melted butter, and gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and runny. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Step 2: Fill a piping bag with 4-5 tablespoons of Nutella. Grease an aebleskiver pan and place it over low heat on the stove. Pour about one tablespoon of batter into each hole, filling halfway. Pipe approximately one teaspoon of Nutella into the center of each. Cover with more batter until the Nutella is fully enclosed. When the tops start bubbling, carefully flip each pancake bomb and cook until the other side is golden brown. Remove and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- Use a spoon if you don’t have a piping bag; a small zip-top bag with a corner cut off works well too.
- Try filling the pancakes with peanut butter or fruit jam for a different twist.
- Maintain low heat to ensure the pancake bombs cook through without burning.
Storage
Store leftover mini pancake bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or in a warm oven to preserve their soft texture and keep the Nutella melted.

FAQs
Can I use regular pancake batter instead?
Yes, you can use your favorite pancake batter. Just make sure it’s not too thick so you can easily pour and enclose the filling.
What if I don’t have an aebleskiver pan?
You can use a mini muffin tin or regular pancake griddle, but the classic round shape and easy flipping of an aebleskiver pan give the best results for these pancake bombs.
