This is my spin on having chocolate for breakfast! It's a cross between a pancake and a brownie. I hope you like them as much as my family does. Serve warm with your favorite pancake syrup, whipped cream, and berries of your choice. Enjoy!

Step 2
Whisk buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour into center of the well of the cocoa mixture; mix until just blended.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Note:

For best results, make batter the night before and refrigerate overnight, ready to go in the morning.

These were great--nicely sweetend and chocolatey. The pancakes are fluffy, light and cake-like. My daughter put whipped cream, chocolate syrup and a cherry on top. She liked them a lot.

I made these but they are not sweet enough as written. I doubled the sugar then added a little more before these approached a browniesque experience. I topped them with grass-fed butter and homemade chocolate syrup - cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla extract to taste. After tinkering with the recipe me and my daughter enjoyed them. I look forward to trying them again with chocolate chips for total chocolate insanity. Note - I did use coconut palm sugar instead of white or brown. I sub it in all of my baked goods as it enhances the flavor.
