This is my spin on having chocolate for breakfast! It's a cross between a pancake and a brownie. I hope you like them as much as my family does. Serve warm with your favorite pancake syrup, whipped cream, and berries of your choice. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • cup cocoa powder

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 2 eggs

  • 3 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Whisk cocoa powder and sugar together in a bowl until well combined. Add flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; continue whisking until evenly mixed. Make a well in the center of the bowl.

  2. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour into center of the well of the cocoa mixture; mix until just blended.

  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Note:

For best results, make batter the night before and refrigerate overnight, ready to go in the morning.
