Chock full of hearty oats and melty chocolate chips, you’ll feel like you are eating cookie dough for breakfast!
Hmm. The same can be said for my Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal.
I guess I just really like chocolate for breakfast.
No, I didn’t really top my pancakes—the ones I actually ate—with chocolate syrup. But I’d cooked a batch the day before and put them in a plastic bag to stay fresh. Well, silly me didn’t know that if you cover a batch of pancakes, they get gooey-moist and go bad. No worries; I now had a whole batch of pancakes to use for a crazy photo shoot. So the pancakes didn’t go to waste. (I hate wasting food.) And the next day, I quickly made up a new batch to eat for real.

Mix all the dry ingredients. (This can be done days in advance.) Put liquid ingredients into dry, then stir. Cook on medium-low, flipping 1/2-way through.

I love chocolate at breakfast time — on toast, oatmeal in a smoothie or straight up!
These pancakes look so good and so delicious!
I have been looking through your posts and WOW. All of your recipes looks so so delicious! I can’t wait to start experimenting and trying some of these out.
Also, you are so pretty! Tomorrow for breakfast I hope to have your baked oatmeal (;
Wow, oh my gosh thank you so much!! Your comment put a huge smile on my face :).
Aahh the good old pancake– it’s so versatile and delicious. Since my family has a sit-down breakfast every morning, I generally save my chocolaty endeavors for my early morning snack (shortly after I get up– I couldn’t wait till 10am for family breakfast without it! I’m the only early riser in the family). However, cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate make a great addition to hot cereal when the craving strikes!
Love chocolate porridge and chocolate pancakes. Your pancake recipe sounds amazing as well. Love the photos, they are stunning! 🙂
……wipes drool off chin…..
Is the ener-g- egg solid powder material? Could I use egg white instead?
Thanks
Dawn
I’ve been vegan so long that I really know nothing about working with eggs LOL!
But a few commenters have made the oatmeal cookie version, back when I first posted it, with egg. And yes, ener-g is powder. You could probably just leave it out and increase the baking powder a little.
Funny, this morning I just bribed my kids to eat their breakfast (new gluten free waffles I got to try and they hated) with chocolate chips…what kind of mom am I? It’s not like I was making them eat raw swiss chard. At least they were dark chocolate chips.
LOL! My mom always had to bribe me to drink my milk by making it chocolate milk. I would NOT drink plain milk. Hmmm… some things don’t change ;).
your photos are always so cute!
i love chocolate for breakfast and eat it often, usually in the form of chocolate oatmeal and chocolate pb. 🙂
Oh. My. Muppets. You have just made all my wildest dreams come true with this post!! No joke, I know EXACTLY what I’ll be making this Pancake Sunday, and I’m SO excited already!!! 😀
Yay times a thousand because you used my favorite Emma phrase!
These look super delicious. I am definately making them. Sometimes it feels like I live off only your recipes!
Aw lol 🙂
Sometimes I put cocoa powder in my banana soft serve and make a chocolate smoothie. SO delicious
Those look DIVINE!! I love chocolate, but I generally try not to eat it at breakfast because it’s not “healthy” – but these look healthy and tasty. I’ll have to make them when I’m home from college! 🙂
this really does look like chocolate chip cookies!!!so yummy your making me actually want something other than oats for breakfast!
this looks exactly like chocolate chip cookies!your making me actually want something other than oats for breakfast!
I have chocolate all throughout the day, usually in the form of unsweetened cocoa powder and semi-sweet choc chips, starting from breakfast and carrying on through dinner and any post-dinner snackerie. I think these pancakes look heaven-sent and I will be making them soon!
Is there anything wrong at all with chocolate for breakfast? I eat it in my oatmeal, in my banana sandwiches, in chocolate chip cookies and sometimes I even have real chocolate cake for breakfast. If it makes my day, it cannot be bad 🙂 .
