Best Ways to Enjoy It

When it comes to serving these mini pancake stacks, the sky’s the limit! Drizzle some maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar over the top for an extra sweet touch.

How to Store

If you happen to have leftovers (which is often unlikely), they’re easy to store. Keep any uneaten pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds, or pop them in a toaster oven to retain some crispness.

Tips to Make It Perfect

Here are some tips to ensure your Mini Nutella Pancake Stacks turn out wonderfully:

• Try using a thin layer of Nutella to keep the pancakes from sliding.
• For added flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts or a little sea salt between the layers.
• Preheat your plates in the microwave for a few seconds so your pancakes stay warm while you stack them.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to experiment with different flavors! Swap Nutella for almond butter or peanut butter for a nutty twist. Add sliced bananas or blueberries in between the layers for an extra fruity punch. You could even switch out the strawberries for seasonal fruits, depending on what’s available.
