Mango Pancake Skewers with Nutella Recipe
Introduction
Mango Pancake Skewers with Nutella offer a playful and delicious twist on traditional breakfast fare. These bite-sized creations combine soft crepes, sweet mango, and rich chocolate hazelnut spread for a fun and flavorful start to your day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour (substitute with whole wheat flour for richer flavor)
- 2 large eggs (for vegan, use flax eggs)
- 1 cup milk (substitute with almond or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- Oil spray (use a neutral cooking oil)
- 1 jar Nutella or preferred chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2 mangoes, fresh (can substitute with strawberries or bananas)
- Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg (incorporate into the batter for flavor)
- Optional: Seasonal fruits such as peaches or berries
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the crepe batter by sifting the plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center, add the eggs and half of the milk, then whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk until the batter is well combined.
- Step 2: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with oil. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook until the crepe is golden on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side briefly. Keep the cooked crepes warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.
- Step 3: Spread a thin layer of Nutella over each crepe, then roll them up tightly. Slice the rolled crepes into 3 cm pieces.
- Step 4: Alternate threading crepe pieces and mango chunks onto skewers to create colorful and tasty pancake skewers.
- Step 5: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and soft textures at their best.
Tips & Variations
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Try substituting mango with fresh strawberries, bananas, peaches, or mixed berries depending on seasonal availability and preference.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond or coconut milk and vegan chocolate spread alternatives.
- To keep crepes warm before assembling, wrap them in foil and place in a low oven at around 100°C (210°F).
Storage
These skewers are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store leftovers, keep crepe rolls and fruit pieces separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat crepes gently in a warm oven or microwave before assembling again, but avoid reheating the skewers once assembled to preserve texture.

FAQs
Can I make the crepes ahead of time?
Yes, crepes can be made a day in advance. Store them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator, then warm gently before assembling the skewers.
What if I don’t have Nutella?
You can use any chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, or even a fruit jam as an alternative to Nutella for different flavors on your pancake skewers.

Ingredients
Crepes
- 1 cup Plain Flour (Substitute with whole wheat flour for richer flavor)
- 2 large Eggs (For vegan, use flax eggs)
- 1 cup Milk (Substitute with almond or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- Spray Oil (Use a neutral cooking oil spray)

- 2 Mangoes (Fresh mangoes; can substitute with strawberries or bananas)
Optional Enhancements
- 1 tsp Cinnamon or Nutmeg (Incorporate into the batter for flavor)
- 1 cup Seasonal Fruits (Use peaches or berries as alternatives)
Instructions
- Prepare Crepe Batter: Sift the plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center, then add the eggs and half of the milk. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, then gradually incorporate the remaining milk, continuing to whisk to achieve a thin, consistent batter.
- Cook Crepes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with neutral oil. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle. Cook the crepe until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown, then flip to cook the other side briefly. Remove the cooked crepes and keep them warm in a low-temperature oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Assemble Skewers: Spread a generous layer of Nutella over each crepe. Roll each crepe tightly, then slice the rolls into approximately 3 cm pieces. Alternate threading these crepe pieces with fresh mango chunks (and optional seasonal fruits if using) onto skewers to create colorful layers.
- Serve: Present the mango pancake skewers immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of warm crepes, creamy Nutella, and fresh juicy mango.
Notes
- You can substitute plain flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
- For a vegan version, replace the eggs with flax eggs and use almond or coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
- Optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the crepe batter for extra warmth and complexity.
- Seasonal fruits such as peaches or berries work well as substitutes or additions to mango for variety.
- Keep cooked crepes warm in a low oven to prevent them from drying out before assembly.
