My kids drool for some pancake love on Sunday mornings! I bet most of your kids do too!
I woke up this morning and saw Charanya’s Mini Choc-Pancake Tower, I had to make these for the kids. Thanks for the awesome inspiration Charanya. My girls loved it. I did adapt the recipe to the ingredients available and the kids’ taste. Got 2 thumbs up! If you are a vegan, then do check the link given above! Charanya is a vegan and has some awesome vegan recipes free of eggs, meat and dairy.
Here is how I made these :
Yields : 6 mini pancakes of 4 inch diameter.
Kitchen Equipments Required : bowl, measuring cup, whisk, fork, non stick or hard anodized pan, flat spatula.
Ingredients :
Oil spray to spray the cooking pan.
Whole wheat flour : 3/4 cup. You may use all purpose flour if you don’t like the taste of whole wheat flour.
Almond meal : 1/4 cup. I grind some almonds fine in the blender and use. If you choose to skip the almond meal then increase the whole wheat flour by 1/4 cup and make 1 cup of it.
Coco powder, unsweetened : 2 tbsp
Sugar : 2 tbsp
Baking powder : 1 tsp
Salt : a pinch
Milk, skimmed : 1 cup + 2 tbsp
Method :
- Take a bowl. Add all the dry ingredients and mix well with a fork, till all of them are combined well.
-
Add milk to it and stir with a whisk. After 3/4 cup, add little at a time since everybody’s flour quality is different. If using APF then also add accordingly. You need a thick pouring consistency for the pancake.
-
Heat the nonstick or hard anodized pan. Spray with oil or coat it lightly.
-
Take the 1/4th measuring cup and drop the batter.
-
Let it cook for 1&1/2 to 2 minutes on each side at medium flame. Do not press it ! You need fluffed up pancakes and not crispy and flat ones.
-
Serve them to your kids with some fresh fruit, maple syrup or honey and some whipped cream.
Enjoy your weekend bunch or breakfast!

I also saw Charanya’s delicious tower of chocolate pancakes and want to try, love your recipe also. Looks so good and I can see why you got thumbs up for those beauties.

Suzanne, they were not as fluffy and soft as the originals with APF n eggs work but good enough :).

The kids don’t know fluffy chocolate is all they are concerned with at least that’s my experience. I have never had chocolate pancakes and can’t wait to try.
simplyvegetarian777
You are right Suzanne. You show them chocolate and they will eat anything ;).
