I enjoy decadence occasionally, and what’s not to love when that decadence comes in the addictive avatar of chocolate? I dreamed up these vegan Double Chocolate Pancakes for my little boy who, I think, can never have enough chocolate. And if there are sprinkles on top of it, even better. But that doesn’t mean the adult kids in your home won’t love them. In fact, they might end up gobbling them even faster. We got back last night from our road trip to Niagara Falls, and given that the work week is about to begin, I wanted to soothe us all with a breakfast that we could drown those end-of-vacation blues in. In fact, we smothered them in so much chocolate, we are ready now to take on the work and school week and all it brings with it. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
These vegan Double Chocolate Pancakes are fluffy and delicious and studded with nuts (you can leave out the nuts if you wish). But they are also whole wheat, so you don’t have to feel too bad about eating them. What’s better, the chocolate replaces the maple syrup, so you aren’t really ingesting that many more calories, if at all. I also find these are far more satisfying than regular pancakes, so I tend to eat fewer. Automatic portion control. So go on, try them. Or file them away for a special day, like a birthday or Valentine’s Day. Or how about making this as a breakfast for Mother’s Day, especially if you have – like my son – a mom who adores chocolate. 🙂
