Line a cookie sheet or baking tray with parchment paper or wax paper. Scoop dollops of Nutella onto parchment paper and flatten slightly with back of spoon. I used a generous tablespoonful of Nutella. Place Nutella discs in freezer for 1 hour.
In a large mixing bowl, mix up the pancake batter according to package instructions. Use a little bit of unflavored oil to grease your skillet. I like avocado oil Spread about ⅓ cup batter on hot non-stick skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Place frozen disc of Nutella in middle of the batter, then spoon a little more batter on top of the Nutella, enough to cover the Nutella.
Flip pancake when you start to see bubbles on the edges (about 2 miuntes). Remove from griddle about 2 minutes after flipping pancake or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter and discs of Nutella. Recipe. makes 8 pancakes. Serve with unsalted butter and syrup, or toppings of your choice.
Notes
Plan ahead! Several hours before you plan on making the pancakes, prep the chocolate hazelnut spread or Nutella disks. They need time to freeze for at least one hour!
