Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Filling
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt, stirring thoroughly to evenly distribute all the dry components for a consistent batter base.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in almond milk and vegetable oil into the dry mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, creating the perfect consistency for cooking.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking, which is crucial for the delicate gluten-free batter.
- Cook First Side: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the heated skillet, forming a round pancake. Immediately add a few vegan chocolate chips in the center to create the delicious stuffed core.
- Form Pancakes: Let the pancakes cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, signaling that the underside is cooked and ready to be flipped.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the other side is golden brown and the chocolate chips inside have melted.
- Repeat Process: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner until all pancakes are made and ready to be served warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease your pan to prevent sticking.
- Ensure the skillet is at medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking the pancakes.
- For extra richness, opt for dark vegan chocolate chips.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your stove’s heat output for best results.
- Serve with fresh fruit or maple syrup for an extra flavor boost.
