Chocolate Pancakes With Chocolate Sauce

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 35 mins | Quantity: 12-14 pancakes

Ingredients

Pancakes:

  • 2 cups (200g) rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup (55g) light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/3 cup (30g) raw cacao powder
  • 1 cup (225ml) plant milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 medium bananas – peeled

Chocolate Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup (60g) dairy free dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) vegan cream
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) vegan butter

Instructions

  1. Put all the pancake ingredients into a blender cup and whizz until smooth
  2. Heat a large frying pan or skillet over a medium heat then spoon or pour in 2-3 piles of the mixture, spreading each one out slightly and spacing each pancake apart from the others.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the top. Flip each pancake over carefully (but confidently!) and cook for another minute on the other side
  4. Repeat until you've used all the pancake batter - keep them warm in a low oven or reheat in the microwave to serve
  5. Sauce method 1 - melt together the chocolate and cream in a microwave then stir in the sugar and butter until smooth
  6. Sauce method 2 - heat the cream and sugar in a saucepan then pour over the chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth

Notes

  • Store any extra cooled pancakes in the fridge - reheat in the microwave or even toaster!
