Mini Maple Pancake Muffins + Nutella

I love Nutella. So I’m really glad it has it’s own day. I’m thinking about asking it to be my Valentine this year. Cross your fingers for me!

I also love pancakes, and so I’ve been daydreaming about these muffins for weeks. They are especially good topped with Nutella.

Or, top them with a Nutella AND a banana slice and get out of town, for real.

These are mini, so you can eat them like breakfast sushi rolls. Each muffin is a bite. Does that work? Is that a thing?
