In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract. Break up the egg first with a fork and mix the wet ingredients, and then begin to combine the flour, working from the outside of the bowl in, until just combined and mostly smooth.

Place the Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it up, in 30-second increments, until it's melted, gooey, and spreads easily. Place it close to the pan. You might need to reheat it after a few batches as it cools.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and once hot, grease it. Immediately, pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the greased pan. I use a ¼cup measuring scoop and fill it halfway. Then, spoon 1 tablespoon of melted nutella over the batter, keeping it mostly in the center. Pour another 2 tablespoons of batter over the Nutella and base. I do this process (batter/Nutella/batter), one pancake at a time, but cook 3 pancakes in my pan in the same batch.
Cook the first side for 2 minutes, flip the pancakes over using a spatula, and cook the second side for 2 more minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Plate a few pancakes on a plate and top with banana slices, strawberry slices, or your favorite toppings.
