Brownie Batter Pancakes

Happy Friday! It’s nearly the weekend, just hang in there!!

The great thing about reading food blogs is they provide and inspire you with ideas you never would have thought of. In fact, the internet in general is amazeballs for that. So when I saw Marta’s recipe for brownie batter pancakes, my heart stopped… it was love at first sight.

I did try a chocolate chip pancake, which wasn’t photogenic at all, but Hamsley said it was the best out of the whole batch. I also tried one with rainbow sprinkles… once again, not photogenic ๐Ÿ™ The way to make sprinkles photogenic is as a decoration at the end I’ve learnt after checking out other people’s brownie batter pancakes.

Yes, they were awesome. Who doesn’t love a little treat for breakfast on the weekends?

Brownie Batter Pancakes
Ever so slightly adapted from Marta: What Should I Eat For Breakfast Today?

ยฝ cup plain flour
ยฝ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp dark cocoa
2 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
3 tbsp vegetable or ground nut oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
10 tbsp milk

1. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients with a whisk and until the dough is smooth.

2. Fry 2-3 tablespoons per pancake over a medium heat. This amount will make about 10 small pancakes.

3. Top with your choice of toppings: eg/ whipped cream, chocolate sauce, jam, ricotta or bananas.

Serves 2.

    I’ve made brownies pancakes some time ago, it was delicious, I used blueberries, but it looks so delicious with strawberries…

    This looks too easy Shellie. Thanks for all the simple recipes you share with us all. I think I could eat a whole stack of these…. especially accompanied by fruit like bananas. OH YUM!

    Ah yes, it constantly annoys me than rainbow sprinkles dissolve and aren’t as sparkly as they should be when you mix them into batter! I s’pose brownie pancakes are almost as good. ๐Ÿ˜›

    That is SUCH a fantastic idea…I love brownies already, in pancake form sounds even more amazing. You have totally planted the idea in my head now…

    Browsing through the interwebs definitely makes me more inspired to cook and gives me ideas for something that I would have never tried before as well – including this recipe! Though, I’m not as much of a sweet tooth, this would definitely be fun to make even for dessert :D.

    Oh yum!

    This would go down well with some ricotta and strawberries ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh yum! Due to the strawberries it has to be healthy for you, right?

    They sounds fantastic Michelle, I’d serve with a little ice cream or (coffee) whipped cream for good measure!

    HI! Questions for you: How chocolatey are these? Do they turn out moist at all? I recently made some chocolate pancakes, which were great, but still a little dry!
