I think I still want to try to tweak this recipe a bit more, but this was a decent start. I think it would be good with a bit of coconut in. Maybe swap out some of the flour for coconut flour or mix in some shredded coconut or something.

Chocolate Pancakes

Adapted from Serious Eats

Ingredients

• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/3 c. whole wheat flour
• 1/3 c. cocoa powder
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. coarse sea salt, ground
• 7/8 c. (3/4 c. + 2 Tbsp.) milk
• 2 large eggs
• 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 50-100g dark chocolate, chopped

Directions

1. Combine flours, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
2. Beat eggs with milk and add to dry ingredients.
3. Add melted butter and mix to combine.
4. Stir in chopped chocolate.
5. Heat a pan over medium-low heat.
6. Grease the pan as needed (which might be not at all, depending on your pan).
7. Use 2-4 Tbsp. of batter per pancake depending on how large you want them. (I generally prefer smaller pancakes as they're easier to flip.)
8. Once bubbles start to form and the sides of the pancakes begin to look dry, flip them over and cook the other side.
9. Remove pancakes from pan once both sides are cooked and repeat process with remaining batter.
10. Serve with strawberries, cherries, jam, syrup, ganache, and/or whipped cream.
