Everyone knows that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. That’s why a special breakfast just for Dad is the perfect way to show how much you care this Father’s Day. I can’t think of a more scrumptious and decadent breakfast than a plate full of Buttermilk Banana Pancakes topped off with a spoonful (or two, or three) of Nutella.
I won’t get to celebrate Father’s Day with my own Dad this year, because he is deceased. But I will get to celebrate with the other special Dads in my life like my son, Nathan.
Making Dad’s day special.
Although I can’t spend Father’s Day with my own Dad, I still look forward to helping my grandchildren treat their Dad to an extra special stack of banana buttermilk pancakes – something I know he will absolutely love. I just know he will enjoy sitting out on the front porch in the morning, with a tray of delicious banana buttermilk pancakes, Nutella, and orange juice. Maybe even a small bouquet of flower, since it’s an extra special day.
Buttermilk Banana Pancakes with Nutella
ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
2 overripe bananas (mashed)
Nutella
rapsberries (for garnish)
directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, butter and bananas.
3. Using a wire whisk, combine the wet and dry ingredients making sure to not over mix.
4. Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.
5. Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the mixture into the pan and heat until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the pancake to a plate, and spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of Nutella over the top of the pancake.
7. Repeat, stacking the pancakes as you go. Top with a few raspberries or another fresh fruit of your choosing.
No syrup needed. The Nutella melts right into the warm pancakes and it’s oh-so wonderful.
Spread the happy.

I grew up on Nutella back in the 80s, my grandparents lived in Germany and they would send it to us in care packages. Pancakes, toast, croissants, ice cream, rice krispie treats you name it we ate it with it! We would even drop tablespoons of it into our hot cocoa on cold winter mornings 🙂
What a great recipe. I would not have thought of putting Nutella on pancakes but I bet it is delicious!!
I can see why these were devoured. They look amazing. They would be a hit here, too!
I think everything is better with Nutella spread on it! 🙂
Ooooo I love a good Nutella recipe. We always have some in the pantry!
Oh my kids and hubby LOVE Nutella on pancakes. I will have to tell them to add banana.
Perfect pairing! This sounds like a perfect breakfast for a lazy summer morning.
Yum! These look sinfully delicious. I am a huge fan of Nutella.

I’ll take a plate! You made some for me right? They look great!
