Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 cup milk (any kind)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup Nutella (or hazelnut spread)
Optional for Serving
Sliced strawberries
Powdered sugar
Maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly coat two 24-count mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each mini muffin cup about ¼ full with batter.
Add ½ teaspoon Nutella to the center of each muffin cup.
Top with the remaining batter, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the pancake bites to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with strawberries, powdered sugar, or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Warm the Nutella slightly for easier spooning.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancake bites light and fluffy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
You can substitute chocolate hazelnut spread with peanut butter or cookie butter for a different flavor.
