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.
These vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Pancakes are the epitome of morning indulgence, combining the richness of chocolate with the delightful crunch of hazelnuts, all topped off with a creamy chocolate ganache. Enjoy a luxurious start to your day with these mouthwatering pancakes!
