Nutella Chocolate Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

Nutella pancakes are here to rescue your sad breakfasts and make them AWESOME! Why just put nutella on your pancakes when you could have it inside AND on top of the pancakes?

In my house, pancakes tend to be reserved for special occasions or treat breakfasts – in the week I enjoy a healthy green protein smoothie which means I get to indulge at the weekend! Scrambled eggs on toast or bluberry pancakes are my favourite, but I decided to dream up something extra special for Pancake Day! Introducing Nutella Chocolate Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce!!

These fluffy and rich chocolate pancakes are packed full of yummy chocolate hazlenut nutella. The nutella, greek yoghurt and cocoa powder keeps them so moist inside. The blueberry sauce is a super easy delicious accompaniement to the pancakes (or you could use strawberries, raspberries or another berry!) but you can also not bother with it if you don’t have any berries in the house. I used frozen blueberries for my sauce, which will work just as well as fresh.

Of course, these pancakes are so chocolatey and indulgent that they’re really more of a dessert than a breakfast, but sometimes, that’s just what you need! Birthdays, pancake day, a Sunday when you need an amazing breakfast just because!

Something to note about this recipe – before you make these delicious nutella pancakes, you’re going to heat your nutella in the microwave for about 30 seconds – this will ensure it is nice and liquid and easy for you to mix into your pancake batter.

Does this look wrong?

For the pancake batter

1. 75g or 1/3 cup golden caster sugar
2. 35g or 1/3 cup cocoa powder
3. 75g or 1/3 cup light-brown sugar
4. 210g or 1 1/2 cups plain flour
5. 1 tsp baking powder
6. 1/2 tsp salt
7. 120ml or 1/2 cup milk (use whatever you have in the house)
8. 120g or 1/2 cup greek yoghurt
9. 4 heaped tbsp nutella
10. 2 large eggs
11. 1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

For the berry sauce

1. 75g blueberries, strawberries or other berry of your choice
2. To serve: 2-3 more tablespoonfuls of Nutella

For the pancake batter

1. Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl by sifting them together - the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt. Add the two sugars and mix together, then set aside.
2. In a smaller bowl or jug, combine the greek yoghurt, vanilla extract, nutella, and milk. Whisk the mixture until everything is incorporated, then add the two eggs.
3. Next, gently whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. You don't want to overwork the mixture, so just stir until everything is incorporated - no more.
4. To cook, heat up a large saucepan on a medium - high heat, and melt a tsp of butter and ensure the whole pan is coated with it. Use a ladle or ice cream scoop to measure batter onto the saucepan, using a spatula to guide it into a circular shape. Flip the pancakes as soon as you see bubbles appearing on the top - these can burn quickly so have a spatula handy and ready to go! Keep any cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven while the whole batch cooks.

For the berry sauce

1. Combine your berries in a small saucepan with about 3 tbsp water. Heat on a low heat, stirring until the berries begin to pop and melt. Set aside until ready to serve.
2. To serve: Stack the pancakes on two plates, then drizzle over warm nutella and berry sauce. Enjoy!

I was really surprised when I got the idea to make these pancakes that there weren’t really any other nutella pancake recipes around on Pinterest (only plain pancakes with nutella on, which I can tell you JUST ISN’T ENOUGH NUTELLA).

I’m pretty sure I’ve told you before about my undying love for pancakes. Pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, funfetti pancakes – if you need more inspiration take a look at my brunch board on Pinterest!

Have a yummy pancake day!
