Chocolate Pancakes. Mmmmmm. If these are wrong, please don’t tell me.

I just don’t want to know if they are!

Sam would most likely say the same since he’s the one that requests them time and again. That and his chocolate chip waffles. He’d eat them every day if I let him. Which I don’t, but you know what I mean.

Anyway, it sure is a good thing they are so simple to make.

Serve them with a bit of delicious maple syrup and you are good to go.

Of course, serving them with fresh fruit, a dollop of whipped cream and some chocolate syrup wouldn’t be a bad idea either. Whatever floats your boat.

  6. I do not want to share says:

    Can you make this recipe with milk INSTEAD of buttermilk?

    1. Analiz says:

      Did you make it with milk?

    2. Robyn Stone says:

      Hi Analiz,
      If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make a Buttermilk Substitute. I hope you enjoy the pancakes! Thanks!

    I just made this today. My husband and I actually had 3 each and just finished them. I didnt have self-rising flour so i added 1T baking powder. I used special dark cocoa so it was a bit strong. But all in all, I enjoyed the recipe. Fluffy and yummy! 🙂

  8. Tamika says:

    Good sweets in the morning

  9. Ryann says:

    These were good but to be honest they need more sugar. I used the recipe to make chocolate peanut butter balls.

    We made this chocolate syrup for the pancakes that you drizzle on top and it makes them so rich.
