Chocolate-Filled Pancake Pops

These Nutella Pancake Bites Make a Gooey and Indulgent Breakfast

You have likely heard of Nutella crepes before, but these choco-hazelnut spread-stuffed pancake pops take decadent desserts to a new level. Created by Shihoko at the blog Chopstick Chronicles, the Dessert Takoyaki recipe puts a new spin on a Japanese-inspired treat.

The Nutella pancake pops are a bite-sized breakfast that are similar to cake pops, but are made with American-style pancake batter instead. Rather than being filled with savory ingredients like octopus as traditional takoyaki would be, this easier to eat version could be enjoyed as a particularly naughty breakfast or a fun dessert any time of day. You can drizzle extra Nutella and add powder sugar, and even serve with a side of ice cream.
