It’s official; these are my new favorite pancakes. How could they not be—they are dessert pancakes! This is the perfect way to enjoy chocolate cake in 10 minutes. I get so impatient waiting for the chocolate cake to bake, then cool, then be frosted. It’s far too much waiting for me, so I decided I needed to create a chocolate cake dessert that could be ready to eat much quicker.
You could call these brownie pancakes if you’d like, since they are made with brownie mix but I decided to call them Chocolate Cake Pancakes because their texture is much more like that of a chocolate cake rather than brownies. Also, they taste just like chocolate cake! They are moist, oh-so-chocolatey, and purely divine. It’s time for pancakes to become more than just a breakfast food. They are now a dessert food, too! I love these pancakes with my signature Vanilla Cream Syrup (or my Strawberry Syrup if you love a chocolate-dipped strawberry), but there are so many variations on these pancakes. They give me another wonderful use for any leftover Vanilla Cream Syrup I have left from making breakfast pancakes.
When to Make Chocolate Cake Pancakes
I love to make these Chocolate Cake Pancakes whenever I get a craving for chocolate cake, but don’t want to make a full cake. They make a perfect late night snack. But they’re also perfect for the following occasions:
Birthday breakfasts Valentine’s Day breakfast Brunch Breakfast-for-dinner dessert Midnight chocolate cravings
