Tips:

EGGLESS NUTELLA PANCAKES

I decided to use low sugar in the pancake batter, so I can taste all the sweetness of Nutella! With this recipe you’ll get a neutral pancake batter with sweet Nutella inside…is similar to eat bread with Nutella.

If you prefer more sweet pancakes, you can increase sugar amount according to your taste! I suggest to try with 2-3 tbsp max of sugar.

EGGLESS NUTELLA PANCAKES

These pancakes are very thick, so they can feature so much Nutella inside! But since they are taller than usual pancakes, it’s very important you cook them over very low heat with a lid on top: with this technique your pancakes could cook through, they won’t turn out raw inside and the sides won’t burn!

I mixed milk and vinegar (or lemon juice) in this recipe to make homemade buttermilk, feel free to use buttermilk instead, just skip vinegar or lemon juice.

The acidity of buttermilk reacts with the basic baking soda giving rising to these pancakes that turn out more fluffy!
