Double Rich Chocolate Pancakes - a perfectly fluffy stack of pancakes in everyone's favorite flavor - a rich double dose of chocolate goodness!
Yesterday was my baking day. My cooking day. I was honestly in the kitchen all the good long day.
...and I loved it can I please do this every single day?
First thing I made was breakfast. Double chocolate pancakes for breakfast.
This is so me:

I was able to try the line of Silk milks recently - many of which are my go to choices anyway (I love their coconut and almond milks).
...and I love chocolate milk - chocolate milk is so good, right?
I used the Silk chocolate soy milk to make these pancakes. I made them even more chocolatey by adding cocoa powder to the batter. The result is a rich, fluffy, perfect pancake.
I still revel in the fact that I can make a pancake that is vegan, gluten free, and still has great flavor and texture. Jason always says he cannot tell the difference, that he wouldn't guess they were gluten free or made without eggs and dairy.
Double Rich Chocolate Pancakes
adapted from perfect cherry pancakes
dairy, egg, and gluten free, vegan
makes 12-15 medium size pancakes
INGREDIENTS:
⅔ cup gluten free all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup Silk Chocolate Soymilk
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
INSTRUCTIONS:
In mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and xanthan gum, stirring out lumps.
Whisk in chocolate milk and maple syrup, combine completely.
Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop batter onto an oiled skillet over medium low heat. Flip when pancakes bubble, cooking through on the other side (a minute or so each side).
From a cold glass of chocolate milk after a workout (my favorite!), to pancakes or smoothies or ice cream or a delicious roux for a decadent sauce, here are some other every day uses for dairy free milks like Silk:
tomato basil pasta with kalamata cream sauce
saffron doughnuts with rosewater icing

Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) says
Minus the soymilk, I have everything to make these!! I guess that means I should go grab some chocolate soy milk. 😉 The thought alone of chocolate pancakes makes me swoon... I need to make these soon!
PS, I saw that ecard the other day and laughed. I think mine would just need to be adjusted to say "I made cookies!" 😉
spabettie says
that chocolate milk is SO DANG GOOD! I love it. and these pancakes... we've already made them three times! 🙂

there's nothing like a stack of pancakes, and chocolate makes it even better! also, tonight I'll be dreaming of those beautiful pink donuts.
spabettie says

I know I say this all the time, but why do we have to live so far apart??? It just seems cruel!
spabettie says
I know - seriously. I really wish we were neighbors.
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
I love that quote/pin whatever you call it. I'm so tired of the politics right about now. I'm not a big chocolate fan, but I know my sister and her kids would LOVE these. Chocolate Silk is their treat. They love it. And honestly, because you made these and they look so fantastic...I'd eat 'em 😉 How about some cherry sauce on top???
spabettie says
I don't buy chocolate flavored milk enough... I love it! cherry sauce would be SO good - I am just very stingy with my cherries now, only one container left!!
