Recipe Card
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons butter , melted
- 2 bananas , sliced
- 1 pound strawberries , sliced
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Pancakes
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and white sugar and whisk together. Then add milk and eggs, and combine fully.
- Heat a pan or griddle on medium-low heat and coat with a small layer of butter.
- Using a tablespoon measure use about ¾ of a tablespoon of batter (just scoop with the tablespoon measure but don’t scrape out the entire amount, a quick pour will leave enough behind).
- Cook the pancakes on both sides until lightly browned, about 45 seconds on each side.
- Cool the pancakes (or the whipped cream will melt).
Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy cream and the powdered sugar to a bowl and whip until the cream is firm and holds a peak (keep refrigerated until just ready to use).
Assemble
- Add one pancake, then a small spoonful of Nutella, top with a sliced strawberry, some whipped cream (I used a piping bag, but even just a spoonful works), another strawberry, a second pancake, a banana slice and some chopped chocolate chips.
- Skewer gently, especially with the whipped cream layer.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.

About this Recipe
The base of these pancake bites is my Silver Dollar Pancakes, which are based on my absolutely fail-proof, awesome Pantry Pancakes. I love this pancake base because there aren’t a lot of ingredients in it that you may not have around the house. No buttermilk that you have to run to the store for.
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
These bites look adorable, but they can also be slightly temperamental because of the whipped cream. If you aren’t serving them right away, go ahead and keep them in the freezer until just before serving (but not more than half an hour or so, you don’t want the fruit to freeze) or skip the whipped cream altogether.
Ideas to Serve
One way to serve the bites more casually would be to make the pancake bites without the whipped cream and to serve them with a bowl of whipped cream on the side that you can just grab a spoonful of and put directly onto your plate.
