Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup toffee bits

How to Make Decadent Chocolate Pancake Stack

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey kick.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  7. Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzling each layer with chocolate syrup for added sweetness.
  8. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle toffee bits over the top. Drizzle with additional chocolate syrup before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your skillet is preheated before adding the batter to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
  • Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
  • Experiment with the thickness of your pancakes by adjusting the amount of milk in the batter.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Top with fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, or raspberries for a refreshing contrast to the chocolate.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • Bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
  • A cup of coffee or hot chocolate to complement the sweet flavors.
  • Maple syrup for those who enjoy a classic touch.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster or microwave until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes layered with parchment paper in between and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
