🍓 Toppings

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour
  • Cocoa powder
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Granulated sugar
  • Brown sugar

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together:

  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Oil (or melted butter)
  • Vanilla extract

3. Make the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine.

Fold in the chocolate chips if using.

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.

4. Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles appear.
  • Flip carefully and cook another 1½–2 minutes.

Repeat until all the batter is used.

5. Prepare the Ganache

  • Heat the heavy cream until just steaming (do not boil).
  • Pour it over the chopped chocolate.
  • Let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Mix in the butter for a glossy finish.

6. Assemble

Stack the pancakes high, pour the warm chocolate ganache over the top, and decorate with fresh raspberries and blueberries.

💡 Tips

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Cook over medium-low heat so the pancakes cook through without burning.
  • Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.

😋 Enjoy!

These decadent chocolate pancakes are soft, rich, and perfectly paired with silky ganache and juicy berries. Serve with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for an unforgettable treat! 🍫🥞🫐🍓
