Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- Vegan butter or oil for cooking
For the Vegan Chocolate Ganache:
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
Instructions
- Prepare Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegan butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cooked through.
- Make the Vegan Chocolate Ganache: Place the vegan chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate chips.
- Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and pour the warm vegan chocolate ganache over the top.
Notes
- Nut Replacement: If allergic to hazelnuts, consider substituting with another nut or omitting nuts altogether and increasing the amount of chocolate chips.
- Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a bit more almond milk to reach a pourable consistency.
- Ganache Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the ganache by varying the amount of coconut cream. Add more for a thinner ganache or less for a thicker one.
