chocolate pancakes w/strawberries and cream |Suzanne www.you-made-that.comChocolate pancakes with chocolate chips, strawberries and whip cream are like heaven for me. I’m the kind of girl who can eat this for any meal especially since I’m a lover of all things chocolate. Well, maybe not all things chocolate because chocolate cover bugs don’t tempt me at all but if I had to eat them getting them down with chocolate would definitely help. I made these pancakes especially for the chocolate party that I am part of each month. In my opinion strawberries go perfectly with chocolate because strawberries are not super sweet; they lend the wonderful berry flavor to the chocolate and it makes a wonderful marriage that I can’t resist. I love to make chocolate cake with strawberry filling and chocolate dipped strawberries on top, it never ceases to wow everyone. I hope you give these double chocolate pancakes a try and load them up with lots of strawberries and cream, you deserve a little bit of heaven today.Chocolate pancakes with strawberries and cream |Suzanne www.you-made-that.com

Double Chocolate Pancakes with Strawberries and Cream

Ingredients:
1 pint of fresh strawberries
1 cups of all purpose flour
1/4 pastry wheat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 T. of flax meal
pinch of salt
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 cups of buttermilk (if you want thinner pancakes you may add a little more buttermilk)
2 T. melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:
Step 1: Wash and hull about a pint of strawberries, then slice. Put in to a small bowl and toss with about 1 tablespoon of sugar, set aside for later.
Step 2: In a medium large mixing bowl sift together the flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Whisk together flax meal with the flour mixture.
Step 3: In a smaller mixing bowl whisk the egg and add the melted butter to the egg. Stir in the buttermilk and sugar.
Step 4: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until most of the big lumps are out. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Step 5: Heat a large griddle pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray or melt butter on top. Pour batter onto hot skillet into the size of pancakes you prefer, then add a few chocolate chips on top of each pancake. Watch carefully and when the sides begin to tighten up with a large spatula check the underside by lightly lifting one side up to check for a light brown color. About 2-3 minutes then flip over carefully and cook the remainder of the pancake for another 2-3 minutes until done.
Serve: with maple syrup, strawberries,or whatever type of sweet thing you enjoy on a pancake, feed four people.

I’ve seen quite a few Chocolate Party recipes…and I am convinced that I should eat more chocolate!!! Chocolate pancakes are such a great idea! If I make these for my kids, they will think me the best mom ever! Time for some “brownie” points!

I really can’t imagine any chocolate and strawberry combination that would top this! Hubs is the pancake maker in our house, maybe I can get him to make these for Mother’s Day 🙂

26 Erin @ Texanerin Baking May 11, 2013 at 9:24 am

I’m loving that you used some whole wheat pastry flour! Woohoo!

This look absolutely incredible. I’ve never thought of using cream with pancakes but now I want to try! It goes so well with the strawberries.

27 Lora @cakeduchess May 11, 2013 at 8:36 pm

I love baking with whole wheat pastry flour. it adds such a nice texture to so many recipes. This would be nice to have for my mom tomorrow morning;)

28 Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic May 19, 2013 at 3:22 pm

I agree that chocolate and strawberry go together so well! This looks incredible. Can’t go wrong with double chocolate 🙂

Your cake looks so pretty. I love how you’ve decorated it. It’s a great entry for this month’s chocolate part.

31 Laura@bakinginpyjamas May 27, 2013 at 9:04 am

Sorry I meant Pancakes, I got my comment mixed around from your other entry onto this month’s chocolate party. These pancakes are great, I’ve never made chocolate ones before.
