These Nutella Mini Pancake Stacks are a delightful and easy-to-make treat perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Featuring layers of soft, oven-warmed mini pancakes generously spread with creamy Nutella and topped with fresh strawberries, these stacks are as visually appealing as they are delicious. Lightly dusted with powdered sugar, they offer a perfect balance of sweetness and texture in every bite.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 24 frozen mini pancakes (we used Hungry Jack)
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 4 strawberries, cut in half
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the pancakes: Arrange the frozen mini pancakes in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Cover them with a second sheet of parchment paper to retain moisture while baking.
  3. Warm the pancakes: Bake the mini pancakes in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they are softened but still hold their shape.
  4. Build the first layer: Remove the pancakes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the top of 8 of the warmed mini pancakes.
  5. Add the second pancake and layer of Nutella: Place a second pancake on top of each Nutella-covered pancake to form a stack. Spread another generous layer of Nutella over the top of this second pancake.
  6. Finish stacking and garnish: Place a third pancake on top of each stack, then crown it with a halved strawberry. Secure each stack by inserting a toothpick or decorative skewer through the center to hold everything together.
  7. Serve: Arrange the Nutella Mini Pancake Stacks on a serving platter. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately while warm for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen mini pancakes saves prep time and ensures consistent size for stack assembly.
  • For an extra indulgent twist, you can add sliced bananas or chopped nuts between the Nutella layers.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, gooey Nutella and softened pancakes at their best.
  • To make ahead, assemble without powdered sugar and garnish just before serving.
  • Use toothpicks carefully to avoid choking hazards for small children.
