0 Measure [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups all-purpose flour" uid="0"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup granulated sugar" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking powder" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon baking soda" uid="4"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="5"] into a large bowl. Whisk together until incorporated, and set aside.
1 In a smaller bowl, measure in [wprm-ingredient text="1 cup whole milk" uid="6"]. Heat for 30-45 seconds, or until warm to the touch.
2 Measure in [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup Nutella" uid="7"] and [wprm-ingredient text="3 tablespoons coffee" uid="8"] to the milk. Stir until combined and smooth. This might take a few moments, depending on the temperature. (I’ve found that warmer milk helps make the Nutella easier to stir and incorporate into the batter.)
3 Next, break the [wprm-ingredient text="2 eggs" uid="9"], and stir those into the milk mixture with [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="10"] and [wprm-ingredient text="3 tablespoons unflavored oil" uid="11"].
4 Use a fork to stir together until combined. Make sure the egg yolk and white are incorporated.
5 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes. Don’t fret about lumps — they’re OK.
6 Once the batter has been mixed, heat a nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan with melted butter or unflavored cooking spray.
7 Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready using a cookie scoop or a measuring cup.
8 When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through.
9 Repeat until all of the pancakes have been made.
10 Stack the pancakes onto plates and serve with additional [wprm-ingredient text="Nutella" uid="13"], [wprm-ingredient text="Chopped hazelnuts" uid="14"] and [wprm-ingredient text="Fresh fruit" uid="15"]. Enjoy immediately!
