Happy National Pancake Day!
In honor of National Pancake Day, Emma and I decided to whip up a batch of these pancakes this morning.
Simple From-Scratch Pancakes
2 c. flour (I use white whole wheat.)
2 Tbs. sugar
2 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. oil + extra for the pan
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon).
- Whisk in the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil).
- Warm your skillet over medium heat.
- Brush a little bit of oil in the pan.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter (more or less depending on how large you want your pancakes) into the pan.
- Let it cook until the bottom is lightly browned.
- Carefully flip the pancake over and cook until both sides are browned and the center is cooked through.
Since National Pancake Day made us all happy, we decided to add a little happy to our pancakes in the form of a smiley face and a flower designed with Nutella. Because Nutella just GOES with pancakes. Yum!

Disclosure: I received a Nutella prize pack in exchange for hosting this giveaway. All opinions are – as always – honest and my own.
Our family loves Nutella! One of our favorite ways to eat it is on a “Reese’s Sandwich” which is basically PB & Nutella (on an English muffin is best). It’s really good with some sliced bananas or sliced strawberries sandwiched in there as well 🙂
To be honest, I have never eaten Nutella. However, if I were to win some, I think I would enjoy it on pancakes, over ice cream, with peanut butter, and probably just straight out of the jar!
I was hoping you would share your freebies with your faithful readers! Have a great day!
I like my Nutella straight, with a milk chaser!
I eat Nutella straight out of the jar. It’s the only thing I care about.
I love to eat Nutella in freshly made crepes topped with freshly sliced bananas or simply spread on a slice of toast! Yum!
Me and my family have been eating Nutella since the beginning of time! I have Nutella running through my veins. One of my families favorite ways to eat Nutella is with: crackers, bread, waffles, pancakes, strawberries (basically any fruit), with a spoon, cake, basically EVERYTHING!
One of my favorite ways to eat Nutella, is when I make dessert for my family. I use strawberries I cut the top and take out the inside, kind of like a cup then I fillth with Nutella and put a banana on the top. Is delicious and my family loves it! Choose me I love Nutella please!!!
I love to eat strawberries dipped in Nutella – it’s a wonderful combo!
I like Nutella with waffles and pancakes.
I love Nutella on bananas and apples. also I spread it on toast. I have been known to lick it off the spoon too Yummo
I love to eat it with toast.
My favorite is in between nilla wafers.
The best is on piping hot toast so that the Nutella melts. Then sprinkle with toasted ground coconut. Sometimes I’ll add banana or strawberry slices too.
I’ve had it on perfectly toasted bread where it melts delightfully. 🙂
Can’t say that I have ever tried it. This would be a good time to try it! Sounds delicious!
My son loves Nutella right out of the jar thanks for the givaway
I love to eat them on single slices of bread.
