Vegan Chocolate and Hazelnut Pancakes with Bananas

I just love a relaxed weekend breakfast with the family where I can enjoy a hot coffee instead of chasing the kids through the house to make them ready for school. And most important I love a good breakfast. So let's talk about these easy chocolate and hazelnut pancakes with bananas. SO DELICIOUS!

The pancakes are actually quick to make and you can top them with whatever you have on hand. I highly recommend making the hazelnut chocolate sauce! Seriously, it's just too GOOD!

The Recipe

Vegan chocolate and hazelnut pancakes with bananas

Ingredients

For the pancakes: (makes 6 medium-sized pancakes)

1 cup / 120 g whole wheat pastry flour (sub in regular whole wheat or all-purpose flour)

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 teaspoons dark cocoa powder (for baking)

1 tablespoon agave / maple syrup (optional)

1,5 tablespoons hazelnut butter (sub in peanut butter if you prefer)

1 over-ripe banana, smashed

3/4 cup / 180 ml plant based milk (I used oat milk)

2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips (I used stevia sweetened chocolate chips)

For the chocolate hazelnut sauce:

1/4 cup / 50 g vegan semi sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon hazelnut butter (sub in peanut butter if you prefer)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients (except the chocolate chips) for the pancakes in a bowl and mix with mixer on high speed until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and stir.

2. Heat a pan on medium heat. Spoon about 1/3 cup pancake better on the center of the hot pan and form a circle with the spoon. Cook until bubbles appear and gently flip over and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining dough.

3. For the chocolate hazelnut sauce heat up chocolate chips until they are soft and add the hazelnut butter. Combine until smooth.

4. Serve warm pancakes with bananas, chocolate hazelnut sauce, more hazelnuts or any other toppings you have might like.
