Chocolate Pancakes with Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients
Chocolate Pancakes
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light-brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- butter for griddle , if needed
- fresh strawberry and banana slices
Chocolate Sauce
- 8 oz chocolate chips (use what you prefer, milk chocolate, semi-sweet or bittersweet)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
For the pancakes:
- Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar and cocoa until well combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Make a well in center of dry mixture and set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl whisk together milk, buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and whisk to blend (don’t overmix, batter should still have some lumps).
- Butter griddle if necessary, pour batter onto preheated griddle 1/4 cup at a time and slightly spread batter in a circular form outward (so the centers aren’t so much thicker than edges) and allow to cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, about 1 minute.
- Then carefully flip to pancake to opposite side and cook until done. Serve warm topped with chocolate sauce, strawberries and bananas.
- FOR THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Place chocolate chips in a medium heat proof bowl. Bring heavy cream just to a gentle boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and stir until chocolate has melted.*
Notes
- *Note that chocolate sauce will thicken as it cools. If you want a thinner consistency you can add a few more tbsp hot cream. Reheat as needed in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
