Make rich, chocolate-flavored pancakes using whole oats for a satisfying, slightly healthier breakfast. This recipe delivers fluffy stacks using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (pulsed into oat flour in a blender)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. If using, fold in the chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a decadent oat breakfast.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, rested for 5 minutes) and use non-dairy milk.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can substitute the pulsed oats with 1 cup of pre-made oat flour.
  • These whole grain chocolate pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in between and store in a freezer bag for quick morning chocolate treats.
