Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Donut Pancakes

Three cheers to cinnamon sugar donut flavoured fluffy and cake like pancakes. Similar to Churro pancakes, pancakes in donut form filled with Nutella for breakfast will become your new favourite indulgence… a breakfast recipe that will be asked for time and time again.

THE SECRET TO GOOD PANCAKES

These cinnamon donut pancakes are crazy. Every mouthful is so fluffy and full of buttery, cinnamon flavours, and then you reach the utopia of warm and oozing melted Nutella. For a moment you find yourself with your eyes closed being transported to a chocolate hazelnut haven. So creamy, your mouth waters and yearns for more. This is what a donut craving looks like for breakfast. The Nutella Stuffed Churro French Toast from so long ago reminded me we needed another donut type of recipe, so with time on my hands and children to feed, experimentation began.

HOW TO MAKE Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Donut Pancakes

These pancakes are really easy to make and put a fun spin on dessert in the morning. Prepare your pancake batter, then pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into a lightly greased nonstick pan to create a base. Spread the batter out gently with the back of your ladle and drop a spoonful of Nutella into the middle. Cover gently with more batter (about 1 tablespoons worth) and let cook for an extra minute. Flip gently with a spatula once golden brown underneath and continue cooking until pancakes are cooked through.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH DONUT PANCAKES

These are so full of flavour they can be enjoyed on their own or with fresh fruit and berries. They don’t really need any maple syrup or extra spreads, however, there’s no harm in experimenting with different toppings. They taste exactly like a donut.
