Rich, fluffy, and completely decadent pancakes packed with double the chocolate for the ultimate sweet breakfast.

If you are looking for the ultimate morning treat, this Double Chocolate Pancakes recipe is exactly what you need. There is something truly magical about waking up to the smell of rich chocolate wafting through the kitchen. By combining your Cocoa Powder with sweet Vanilla Powder, we create a deep, bakery-style flavor base that tastes like a decadent dessert but cooks up like a classic breakfast staple. The secret to making the best Double Chocolate Pancakes is not just the cocoa—it is the melty pockets of joy you get by folding chopped Chocolate Bars directly into the fluffy batter. Every single bite delivers a burst of gooey, melted chocolate that pairs perfectly with the tender crumb of the pancake. To ensure your Double Chocolate Pancakes turn out exceptionally light and airy, remember the golden rule of pancake making: never overmix the batter! A few lumps are perfectly fine and actually help keep the texture soft rather than rubbery. We use your fresh Eggs and Milk to bind the batter and provide a rich, satisfying structure, while the Baking powder gives them that majestic lift in the pan. Serve these beauties towering high on a plate, perhaps finished with a drizzle of your Maple Syrup or even a dollop of whipped cream if you want to go all out. Whether for a special brunch, a cozy rainy morning, or a fun kid-friendly treat, these pancakes are guaranteed to bring a smile to the table.

Ingredients

  • 120 g White Flour
  • 25 g Cocoa Powder
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 240 ml Milk
  • 1 Eggs
  • 30 g Butter (2 tbsp (melted))
  • 40 g Chocolate Bars (about 1/3 cup chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the White Flour, Cocoa Powder, Sugar, Baking Powder, Vanilla Powder, and Salt until smooth and combined.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, lightly beat the Eggs, then whisk in the Milk and melted Butter.
  3. 3
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined. It is perfectly fine if a few small lumps remain; do not overmix.
  4. 4
    Gently fold the chopped Chocolate Bars into the pancake batter.
  5. 5
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with a small amount of extra Butter or Oil.
  6. 6
    Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. 7
    Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
  8. 8
    Serve warm, stacked high, and drizzled generously with Maple Syrup.

Chef's Tips

  • Keep the heat on medium-low instead of medium-high; chocolate pancakes burn easier than regular ones because of the cocoa powder.
  • For an extra gooey center, place an extra chunk of chocolate right in the middle of each pancake immediately after pouring the batter into the pan.
