Dutch Pancakes with Nutella and Banana: A Flavorful Twist
During my recent trip to Amsterdam, I indulged in these delightful Dutch pancakes topped with Nutella and banana. The combination was pure magic—a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. Now, let’s take that deliciousness up a notch with different presentations:
The Nutella Swirl: Instead of spreading Nutella evenly, create a mesmerizing swirl pattern. Drizzle it over the warm pancake, then use a toothpick or fork to gently swirl it into the batter. The result? A marbled masterpiece that’s as beautiful as it is tasty. try this Homemade Nuttela Recipe

Remember, the beauty of Dutch pancakes lies in their simplicity. Whether you stack them high or fold them into triangles, the flavor remains irresistible. So go ahead, experiment, and share your newfound pancake love with the world!

Dutch Pancakes
These pancakes are thin, fluffy, and perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. Let’s get cooking! 🥞🍌
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin pancake. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Stack 'Em Up:
Remove the pancake from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes on a plate.
Spread the Nutella:
While the pancakes are still warm, spread a generous layer of Nutella over each one. The warmth will help it melt and become even more delicious.
Add Banana Slices:
Arrange banana slices on top of the Nutella-covered pancakes. You can be as creative as you like—go for a neat pattern or scatter them randomly.
