How To Make Nutella Waffles

Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below

• Heat olive oil in a skillet and fry the bacon till done. Remove the bacon and set aside somewhere warm.
• Add flour into a large bowl and make a hole in the middle.
• Whisk together milk, butter and eggs and vanilla in another mixing bowl and slowly whisk the milk mixture into the flour to make a batter and don’t worry if there are some lumps.
• Cook the waffles according to your waffles maker instructions until all the waffle batter is finished keeping them somewhere warm.
• Cut each waffle in half, spread some Nutella on one half, top with some bacon and the second half. Repeat till all the waffles are done.
• Then flatten the waffles a bit and return to the waffle maker and cook for a further minute till the Nutella is all melty. Repeat till all the waffles are cooked.

Recipe Tips

• Keep the cooked waffles warm by storing in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 200F / 94C on a wire rack on a baking sheet. 
• Lightly oil or spray the waffle iron with cooking spray before cooking each batch. 
• Want even crispier waffles? Turn the heat up on the waffle iron. Don’t worry you won’t burn them. 
• Do not open the waffle maker halfway through cooking at the risk of breaking the waffles.
• Make sure you don’t overmix the waffle batter. This will make them turn out too dense.

Delicious Variations

• Add extracts: almond essence or orange essence work well.
• Add aromatics: you can add things like cinnamon, ground cardamom or citrus zest into the batter.
• Vary the milk: swap in regular milk or a plant-based milk of your choice.
• Sweeten it up: you can add sugar, maple syrup, honey, caramel, caramel coconut or chocolate sauce, etc. into the homemade pancake batter.

Storage

These Nutella Waffles are an ideal meal prep recipe because you can make the waffles ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator or freezer until you need them. Store them without the nutella bacon stuffing. Add that in just before you cook them for the second time.

• Refrigerate – Cook the waffles, cool them and refrigerate (without the Nutella) in an air tight container for 2 days.
• Freeze – Freeze cooled waffles (without the nutella or bacon) for up to 3 months.
• Thaw – Remove  from the freezer the night before needed and let it thaw in the fridge. You may want to heat in the oven at 200F/94C for 5-10 mins to warm them up or toss in the toaster.
