Ingredients
Pancakes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate almond milk, *see notes for substitutions
- 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Chocolate Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar and salt.
- Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, extra virgin olive oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter over medium heat on a griddle. Fill a soup ladle halfway with batter and pour onto the griddle (or make pancakes in any size you'd like). When bubbles begin to form (after about 2 minutes), flip with a spatula. Cook on the other side for about 90 more seconds. Keep pancakes warm after cooking by covering with foil.
- Optional: Make the chocolate sauce. Add heavy cream and chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments until the chocolate is melted, stirring between each increment.
- Serve pancakes topped with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, maple syrup, yogurt, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Milk: Use any milk in this recipe. Dairy milk, lactose-free, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, and coconut milk will create the same fluffy, sweet pancakes. I prefer chocolate almond milk for extra chocolate flavor.
Yield: between 15 and 20 pancakes depending on size. Nutritional information does not include chocolate sauce.
