Fluffy and sweet vegan chocolate pancakes drizzled in a hot chocolate sauce! Completely dairy free with a gluten free option, these are a Christmas breakfast favorite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all purpose flour or gluten free 1:1 baking flour or oat flour
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 cup dairy free milk + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

  1. Prepare the flaxseed and the dairy free milk mixtures in separate bowls. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cacao powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. Add in the flaxseed mixture and the dairy free milk mixture, and mix until it’s a consistent batter and there are no more streaks.

  6. Top and enjoy!

Notes

Recommended pancake griddle: the Presto Pancake Griddle. It’s less than $35 and has lasted me 10+ years. I swear by this griddle!! Makes the whole process (even the clean up part) so much easier and faster.
