There are two ways to add Nutella to this recipe

1- Brake off a 20x20 cm piece of parchment paper. Then scoop 12 teaspoons of Nutella on top of it. Keep distance between each one, so they don't stick together. After that, put the parchment paper on a tray, then freeze until the Nutella solidifies. It may take about 2-3 hours. Then use these as in the instructions.

2- Scoop a teaspoon of room temperature Nutella directly into the batter. If you are going to use this method you have to be careful and make sure that the batter is all around the Nutella.

I have made this recipe using both methods; however, if you are making this for the first time, I recommend freezing the Nutella because it will be much easier for you.
