Cocoa Pancakes image

We serve these pancakes for breakfast every Valentines Day - even if it falls on a school day! They are very rich, but oh so delicious. The kids look forward to them all year! The original recipe from the Penzey's Spices catalog said to cook them in heart-shaped pancake molds, but pancake molds have never worked well for me. I just use cookie cutters. The "scraps" are just as delicious as the cut-outs.

Time 20m

Yield 12 pancakes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (use the highest quality you can afford)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar (could also use Vanilla Sugar)
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup mini chocolate chip
whipped cream or powdered sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat electric griddle to 350, or use favorite pancake pan.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, vanilla and milk. Pour in the melted butter.
  • Make a well in the flour and add the milk mixture gradually to form a batter (I prefer to do this by hand, but you can also use an electric mixer). Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle or pan. Flip when they bubble and seem "set." Cut into shapes or serve as is.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream, if desired. Garnishing the plates and top of pancakes with raspberries also looks nice.

These pancakes were amazing! The cocoa flavor was perfect and they were so fluffy and moist. I will definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pancakes turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit lighter and fluffier. However, the cocoa flavor was nice and the pancakes were still enjoyable.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pancakes were light and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. I loved that they were not too sweet, and the cocoa flavor was not overpowering. I will definitely be making th

I tried this recipe and the pancakes turned out great! The cocoa flavor was rich and decadent, and the pancakes were perfectly cooked. I served them with maple syrup and fresh berries, and they were absolutely delicious.

These cocoa pancakes were a hit with my family! They were fluffy, chocolatey, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I loved that they were easy to make and only required a few simple ingredients. I will definitely be making these again soon!
