Chocolate Pancakes

The summer holidays have started.... to celebrate the first day of the summer holidays l have won Mama points this morning already, allowing the boys to have chocolate for breakfast. But not just any chocolate, as a special treat l made chocolate pancakes with the boys.

Pancakes are usually our go to for a Sunday morning breakfast so l blew the boys minds this morning making chocolate pancakes and it's not even Sunday.

This recipe is very simple to follow and a few ingredients are needed. We used cocoa powder for that chocolate taste and l also added a few chocolate chunks as well for that extra flavour.

Being a chocolate lover l found the pancakes fluffy and totally moorish. We served with chocolate sauce and strawberries (they did get 1 of their 5 a day).

Grab the recipe below to make your chocolate pancake stack and let us know what you think.
