Use unsweetened cocoa powder for this pancake recipe.
Use your favorite chocolate chips in the pancake batter! Try mini, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips for a fun twist.
When the pancake edges begin to bubble, about 1 minute after pouring the batter into the pan, it’s time to flip the pancakes!
For best results, use a nonstick pan or griddle.
These chocolate pancakes are seriously the stuff of dreams! Every bite is super delicious, and your only regret will be that you didn’t make more!
Tips!
- Don’t over mix the pancake batter. Everything should be combined with no dry flour, but stop mixing once the flour has disappeared. If you carry on mixing, they won’t be nice and fluffy.
- The pancake batter can be prepared the night before and kept covered in the fridge.
- Adjust the temperature of your skillet when cooking the pancakes. If it’s too hot they will burn, and not hot enough an they will spread.
These are of course perfect for any time of the year, but they are ideal for a Valentine’s Day breakfast. Serve up with some fresh sliced strawberries!
Can I double this recipe?
Yes. For a larger batch of pancakes (20+), simply double each ingredient and follow the instructions as written.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Absolutely! To freeze chocolate pancakes, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, place the pancakes into an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave, toaster, or oven.
What toppings go well with chocolate pancakes?
Just about anything goes well with chocolate pancakes! In addition to chocolate sauce, try salted caramel, homemade whipped cream, sliced strawberries, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
