For the past few days, one of my friends has been staying with me while she waits to move into a new apartment, so basically, it’s been an ongoing slumber party.
We’ve had movie nights, spa nights, and every night is chocolate night.
On the menu last night: Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Yet both of us woke up craving chocolate again this morning, and the only way to remedy this was to make a chocolate pancake feast.
Brownie Batter Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup spelt, white, or oat flour (for flourless, try these Keto Pancakes)
- 1 tbsp dutch cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil, or applesauce or mashed banana for fat free
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 – 5 tbsp milk of choice
Instructions
- Stir dry ingredients well, then add wet. Add more milk of choice as needed to form a batter consistency. Grease a nonstick pan well and heat on medium. When skillet is hot (add a drop of water to test – the pan is ready if it sizzles), drop small ladles of the batter. Use a spatula to flip when edges begin to look dry. Re-grease the pan after each set of pancakes.*I personally much prefer the oil version but some readers really like the fat-free one so I'm including that too. I haven't tried subbing regular cocoa powder for the dutch, so be sure to report back if you experiment with that. View Nutrition Facts

Your photos are always the besttttt! I haven’t had a sleepover in ages, although I still love them 🙂
Oh my! Those pictures look delicious!
My favorite things to do at slumber parties usually involved movies, nachos and painting nails 🙂
sleepover parties? Not in a few years, no 🙂
I can’t wait for Skylar to have them though!
living vicariously thru her will be the best!
And living vicariously thru these pancakes and all this chocolate is THE BEST!!!
Yum I can’t wait to try these! Maybe a chocolicious Saturday morning breakfast. I loved having sleepovers as a kid. Scary stories, smores, talking about boys, and movies! And before caller id we did a lot of prank phone calls. Fun times.
I made these pancakes and they are phenomenal!!! I used all-purpose flour, dark cocoa, and subbed mashed banana for the applesauce. Definitely the best pancake recipe I’ve tried in a long time. I topped them with banana peanut butter, but they were so perfectly sweet and moist that they didn’t even need a topping (unlike many pancakes).
I love love love your idea to top with pb… it sounds like a Reeses for breakfast!
SO much chocolate, so little time.

I’m reading this at 6:45pm. Tonight is officially a Brinner night
Those are definitely the best nights!
wow. can these post get anyy better!!?? Love this of course. I hardly every do sleepovers anymore….. I loved hair and nails…the usual girly things 🙂
I’d kill for these pancakes! But it’s just too hot for cooking right now…
I haven’t been on a real sleepover party since high school too but I remember we had a lot of fun and I really miss those times.
Strangely, I now feel like making pancakes. And I’m not ever really much of a pancake kinda gal, but those look like chocolate heaven. Maybe top them with a few fresh raspberries…yum!
Amazing…as usual! Your pancakes look positively delicious! I always loved sleep-overs, although my friends and I still try and do a “girls night” when we are all in town. We usually stay up until about 2, so its close enough to a sleep-over I think. I remember my friends and I would alway watch Mary-Kate & Ashley movies at sleep-overs! We rocked the junk food as well 🙂 These days, I bake fancy cupcakes and once, I brought your white bean blondies! (They never knew the secret ingredient)
So basically, this post means I need to buy some cocoa powder.
Brownie batter is better than ANYTHING! God, these look amazing. I know what my breakfast will be tomorrow 🙂
Those pancakes should be banned 😉 I loved sleep overs growing up-I actually did one last summer with some girl friends. We played cards, ate junk food, swam in the pool and watched TV. Good times.
One of my favorite slumber parties was when we all went to the zoo to see the Christmas light display and then came back to bake cookies!
Actually both of those pancake recipes look good to me!! Still love my sleepovers!! Watching movies, vegging out on snacks, except now I dont like staying up all night. I need my sleep 🙂
