Strawberry Nutella Pancakes

Nothing expresses “love” like strawberries and chocolate! Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a birthday or another special occasion, your family will “flip” over these fluffy Strawberry Nutella Pancakes, compliments of local food blogger and cookbook author, Brianne Grajkowski. 

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups flour

3 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Add in milk, egg and butter and stir until combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to make the pancakes fluffier.
