Let me tell you about the morning I accidentally created the most decadent breakfast in my kitchen – these insanely fluffy Kinder Bueno pancakes. I was craving something sweet but couldn’t decide between Nutella toast or classic pancakes, so I thought, “Why not both?” And then – lightbulb moment – I grabbed those crispy Kinder Bueno bars from my secret snack drawer (you know the one). What came out was pure magic: golden pancakes layered with melty chocolate-hazelnut spread and topped with those irresistible hazelnut wafer pieces. Now this is the only way my family lets me make pancakes on weekends – they’ve completely ruined regular syrup-drenched pancakes for us!

Why You’ll Love These Kinder Bueno Pancakes

Trust me, once you try this recipe, you’ll never go back to plain pancakes again. Here’s why these babies are special:

Fluffy clouds of joy: The baking powder magic gives them that perfect rise – like biting into a chocolate-stuffed pillow
5-minute prep, maximum wow factor: Faster than driving to a brunch place, and way more impressive when you bring the stack to the table
Chocolate overload: Nutella between layers AND crunchy Kinder Bueno on top? Yes please!
Brunch superstar: Makes ordinary weekends feel like a special occasion (kids go absolutely wild for these)

I’ve served these to skeptical teenagers and hard-to-impress foodie friends – every single plate gets cleared with happy sighs.

Ingredients for Kinder Bueno Pancakes

Here’s everything you’ll need to create these chocolate-hazelnut wonders – and trust me, every ingredient plays a special role:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – The backbone of our fluffy stack (I’ve tried whole wheat, but it just doesn’t give that same cloud-like texture)
2 Tbsp granulated sugar – Just enough sweetness to balance the chocolate
1 Tbsp baking powder – Our secret weapon for those perfect little bubbles and lift
1/2 tsp salt – Don’t skip this! It makes all the flavors pop
1 1/4 cups milk – Whole milk makes them extra rich, but any milk works
1 large egg – Binds everything together beautifully
3 Tbsp melted butter – Plus extra for the pan (because everything’s better with butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract – That warm, cozy background note
3/4 cup Nutella – Or your favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread (no judgment if you sneak extra spoonfuls)
4 Kinder Bueno bars – Chopped into glorious chunks for that signature crunch

Pro tip: Measure everything before you start mixing – it makes the process so much smoother when you’re craving that chocolatey goodness ASAP!
