Getting together with friends for breakfast/brunch is one of my favorite things to do on the weekend. It can be challenging especially if I have a craving for something in particular like pancakes or waffles. This is why a lot of times I make my own FODMAP breakfast recipes if I have a serious craving (which has been happening a lot lately!).
When I think of chocolate pancakes my mind immediately goes to the IHOP funny face chocolate pancake. Somehow my parents had no problem with me eating for breakfast a chocolate pancake filled with chocolate, sugar and whipped cream. Hey, I’m not complaining!
These chocolate pancakes are my version of those pancakes but healthier. Not only are these perfect for Valentine’s Day but who doesn’t want heart shaped pancakes year round?! I know I do! The chocolate is subtle and not too intense giving it the perfect pancake balance. Check out my note in the recipe for how I get the perfect heart shaped pancake. I’ll give you a hint, I totally cheat!

Description
These pancakes have the perfect amount of chocolate and sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup teff flour
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup FODMAP safe milk (I prefer Malk Organics Pecan Milk)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Heart shaped cut out (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add all of the ingredients and gently combine.
- Heat a flat pancake pan on medium-high heat with nonstick cooking spray. Add roughly a 1/2 cup pancake batter to the pan for a maximum of 3 pancakes on the pan. Flip after 1-2 minutes or when you see bubbles forming.
- * Remove pancake from pan when fully cooked on both sides and cut with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Continue until all of the pancake batter has been used.
Notes
*I am the worst at flipping pancakes especially if there are shapes involved. My “cheat” method cuts the pancake into heart shapes after it’s cooked. No one will know and your hearts will be perfect!
