How to make Gluten-Free Chocolate Pancakes
I love this recipe because all of the ingredients simply get tossed into one bowl and combined with a whisk until smooth.
The beauty of this non-stick griddle is that very little to NO oil is needed when cooking on it. Dab a small amount on a paper towel and lightly wipe the surface of the griddle before cooking.
Heat the griddle to a medium heat.
Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to pour the pancake batter onto the griddle.
Let the pancakes cook until you start to see bubbles on top. Flip them over and let them cook a few minutes until done.
Once the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate.
If you are making a large batch, preheat your oven to 200°F and put them on a cookie sheet in the oven to stay warm.
How to make hot chocolate sauce
Pour the chocolate chips and the maple syrup into a small saucepan.
Heat over medium heat until melted and stir to combine.
I added a teaspoon of espresso powder for even more flavor, but that is totally optional!
All that's left to do is stack the pancakes, drizzle on the hot chocolate sauce and top with berries and powdered sugar!

I used ingredients I had on hand so I used whole milk (I would usually use 1% milk but did not have any) in place of non-dairy milk , Ghirardelli 100% unsweetened cocoa instead of cacao powder and sugar instead of coconut sugar. They were yummy! My daughter has Celiac disease and we are glad when we find great recipes.

Mommy Law says
This is great. My daughter has to do sugar free, dairy free, gluten free so I used plant milk and lemon juice, and sugar substitute in a 1 to 1 substitute. It worked perfectly. Thanks again!

If I wanted to use dairy, would I use buttermilk or regular milk?
Amy says
I would use buttermilk!
Brandon says
Could I use all-purpose flour if that is all that I have? If so, is the amount the same?
I cannot wait to try this!
Amy says
Hi Brandon, yes you can! The batter may be a little thick. You can always add more or less milk to get the right consistency. 🙂
