Hot chocolate is cool and all, but hot chocolate pancakes with chocolate syrup and marshmallows?! Even better!
This pancake recipe may be a little decadent for day-to-day breakfasts, but it’s just right for special occasions… like Saturdays. It’d be really fun for Valentine’s Day brunch too. Click through for the recipe (super easy and only takes a handful ingredients to make).
Ingredients (makes 10 medium pancakes)
- your favorite pancake mix
- any additional ingredients listed on the packaging of pancake mix (varies by mix)
- 3-6 tablespoons of your favorite (powder) hot chocolate mix*
- cooking spray or butter for greasing pan / griddle
*For 10 medium-sized pancakes, use approximately 6 tablespoons of hot chocolate powder. If you are making a smaller batch, I would recommend cutting back to just 3 tablespoons of hot chocolate powder per 5 pancakes.
Instructions
Combine all dry ingredients (pancake mix, additional dry ingredients listed on the mix packaging, hot chocolate powder) then any wet ingredients (if any eggs, oil, water, etc is called for based on your pancake mix instructions) to a large bowl. Mix until smooth.
I used the Sea Salt Caramel Hot Chocolate Mix from Trader Joe’s. Do not add water or milk to the hot chocolate mix tough. Just the powder itself.
Add butter or cooking spray to a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Scoop the batter into the pan or griddle (1/4 cup of batter is what is most commonly recommended). Brown on both sides.
Top with mini marshmallows and chocolate syrup, if you’re feeling crazy.
