CHOCOLATE PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST

chocolate-pancakes-for-breakfast-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

I can still taste those fluffy almost melt in your mouth Chocolate Pancakes. Yum! I never though anything could be this delicious! I can't stop raving about these Chocolate Pancakes, and when you make them you will not stop either. I give you my word! I'm a Chocoholic so anything with Chocolate I will be biased and choose it every time. Pancakes are just the best way to wake up to breakfast, so imagine adding Chocolate, do I have chocolate lovers in the house? I wanted to make something unique so I chose to give my pancakes a different shape from the round ones. I had heart shaped cookie cutters that I always knew would come in handy.They just give that perfect presentation and an evenly layered stack of Pancakes. If you want a deeper Chocolate flavour add Chocolate chips to the pancake batter. I just used regular Cocoa powder but will definitely add Chocolate Chips next time. This recipe is Breakfast and dessert rolled into one! Okay enough 'sed' lets do this! 😊😆

-Great mix to form the Chocolate Pancake Batter. The batter should be smooth, do not worry about some lumps. I added a bit more milk since I wanted the Batter runny so that it can flow easily when I pour into the cookie cutter shapes

-I poured my Chocolate Pancakes batter into a measuring jug for easier pouring

-Heat an oiled non stick skillet/pan. Oil the heart shaped cookie cutter (you can use any shape) so that the batter does not stick to its side

-Use a kitchen cloth to carefully remove the cookie cutter from the pan. It should slide off easily and it us now time to flip the Chocolate pancake

-Flip the chocolate pancake and let the second side cook for a few minutes

-Remove the chocolate pancake from the pan and set in a plate lined with a kitchen paper that will cover the pancakes to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining chocolate batter. For each chocolate pancake, line the cookie cutter with oil to prevent the pancake batter from sticking to it as it cooks
