Chocolate pancakes. Or, chocolate cake in pancake form


I woke up with the intention of making healthy oatmeal pancakes and decided on a whim to make chocolate pancakes. After all, cocoa powder has some nutritive value ... right ...?

Here is the recipe I used. I suppose adding fruit would be nutritious, but I did not have any on hand.

Essentially, you mix
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups buttermilk. I used two cups of coconut milk. 
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil. I used canola. 
Place 1/4 cup on a hot griddle. Flip after 3-5 minutes, or when the underside is firm. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes.

Yup. That's cake. In pancake form.  It was pretty good.
