A decadent way to start the day, these Chocolate Pancakes will add a sweet note to your morning. Top them with berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar!
Chocolate Pancakes
I promised I’d be switching over to healthy mode, but I’m not doing a very good job, am I? I mean, in my defense, I said at the end of the week, so technically I don’t have to start until tomorrow… AND chocolate pancakes aren’t really any worse than normal pancakes, right? In fact, they’re waaaay better than your average pancakes, taste-wise anyway. No better way to start the day than with some decadent homemade chocolate pancakes.
I don’t like the traditional maple syrup topping for these. Instead some fresh berries and a little powdered sugar do the trick beautifully. Oh! And whipped cream. Don’t forget whipped cream. NEVER forget whipped cream! (Except I kind of did forget in these pictures, huh? Guess I got a little too excited about getting to eat them afterwards!)
Anyway,… some more topping options are Nutella or peanut butter, or you can swap the berries for bananas. Possibilities are endless. And tasty.
