My theme for VeganMoFo 2012 is ‘Treats and Sweets’.
‘Treats and Sweets’ also pertains to breakfast.
I hope you already knew that, but if not, have I got the breakfast for you.
After going… what, several years? without eating pancakes except for these pancakes, lately I have been on a weekly pancake schedule.
I invited my brother over for pancakes on Sunday morning. Then I was happy he didn’t want to come over, since we were out singing karaoke until 4:am. Yes, I probably invited him around 1:30am… nevermind.
He came over later in the day, and we enjoyed these pancakes – made with peanut butter and served with more peanut butter and maple syrup. Like a peanut butter cup in a pancake stack. Perfect for a… Sunday afternoon.
chocolate peanut butter pancakes
adapted from double rich chocolate pancakes
dairy, egg, and gluten free, vegan
makes 12-15 medium size pancakes
2/3 cup gluten free all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup Silk Chocolate Soymilk
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons agave (or sweetener of choice)
In mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and xanthan gum, stirring out lumps. In blender, combine chocolate milk, peanut butter and agave*, add to dry mixture. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop batter onto an oiled skillet over medium low heat. Flip when pancakes bubble, cooking through on the other side (a minute or so each side).
*try not to drink this as is
We sang everything from seventies soft rock to current rap. Yep, pancakes were a good call for a ‘late breakfast’.
You just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan…

Pancakes usually are my archnemesis, but I’m going to ask my husband to make me a batch of these asap. They’re so pretty!
because you don’t like them, or don’t like to MAKE them? I hope you love these!!
I just don’t like making them. I get bored to tears after the second one. Shame on me.
haaa, that’s okay. I hadn’t made them in such a long time, I would tell Jason he makes them better than me, I don’t know how…
Wow, these looks amazing.
thank you Fanny!
is it weird I wish I could be your brother?
haaa, not at all!
Peanut butter and chocolate… a match made in pancake heaven. YUM!
I know, the perfect pairing, right?
I wish I could come have breakfast at your house. I want those pancakes and I want to snuggle Basil!
Hope you are well and hope dad is <3
I need to ask you about glam media, if you have time to email me!
me too!! Basil would show off his new Halloweenie costume…
we go TODAY to hear about Dad’s biopsy results – cross your fingers and send us those awesome Katie vibes… I will definitely email you later! XXO
No need to be coy, Roy….
I’m jealous of your weekend.
whew, I couldn’t do that every weekend, but we sure had fun!
4 am??? the only time I ever see that time is getting up to potty LOL. Sounds like you were having a blast!
I know, considering my normal wake up time is around 5, well. let’s just say I slept in a bit that Sunday…
Chocolate and peanut butter? You’re basically my pancake hero. Not to be confused with my jukebox hero.
haaa, love it
These peanut butter pancakes look great, hard to resist a stack of these pancakes. Is there anything better than a combination of peanut butter, cocoa and maple syrup?! YUM!
not a whole lot… seriously one of the best combinations out there
Oh my! That’s my kinda pancake!
thanks, Curt!
one of our new favorites!
breakfast (and second breakfast) is when I have my sweets for the day so I’m totally with you on it counting toward treats. LOVE the idea of the sandwiched pancakes, yum!
I love that you do second breakfast too…
Peanut butter ON peanut butter? With chocolate? Ahh, your pancake recipes never cease to be spectacular!
thanks, Allie! I’m definitely on a pancake kick lately…
Um, a stack of Reese’s in pancake form? Yes, please – all of them for all time.
right?? I know, I know.
Can’t believe it’s already MoFo time! wow – time flies! And these look incredible. PB + Choc = the best!
I know – MoFo came up quick this year! I’m excited to have a theme this year…
Yet another reason I need a griddle pan for my stove top! These look amazing and I have most of the ingredients already. Sweet!
I love my griddle, I use it A LOT! and good, I hope you make these soon!
Pancake sandwiches! These look like the most decadent breakfast ever.
so so yum, but kinda healthy too?
Woman, you know pancakes are my weakness!
still trying to LURE you out West…
I wish we could have come out to celebrate you!!
ME TOO!! get out here!!
Yum, these look incredible. Chocolate and peanut butter… always always great together!
hi Beth, thank you! and yeah – it’s a classic combination for sure.
Yum! …..But these look too beautiful to eat
well, thank you… but … you WOULD eat them…
I would eat those anytime day or night! damn, I wish we were neighbors.
GAAH, I wish we were neighbors too!!
Suddenly, I’m feeling the need for pancakes!! I am going to try these with almond instead of peanut butter (though I know the PB would be fabulous. . . .I am SO missing my peanut butter!). They look amazing.
almond butter would be great too, Ricki – I hope you love them!
ohhh emmm geeeee…effffff these look sooo efffffing good. scuse my language
Hehe! Seriously yummmmm!
I know, these pancakes make people swear. good stuff
No need to be coy, Roy, Just listen to me. hop on the bus, Gus….
haaaa YAY! XXO!
Yum!!! I’m such a huge peanut butter junkie so these pancakes are totally up my alley, plus anything with chocolate is awesome in my book. Sounds deee-lish
thanks, Casey! I hope you try these, sounds like you’d love them!
Oh Em Gee. Puhleeeeze make your way to Chicago on Sunday to bring me these?? I LOVE peanut butter, I LOVE chocolate, and I LOVE pancakes. ridiculous.
These pancakes are rocking my world- I cannot wait to try them!
P.S. I have my best ideas at 1:30am too.
Hello! I really want to try these, but what is xantham gum, and is it something I need if I am making them non-vegan?
hi Cathy! I use xanthan gum with my gluten free flours – it mimics gluten in baked goods. if you are using normal flours, you do not need to use it (and you can use gluten free flours without it also – the pancakes might not be as “fluffy”. hope you enjoy!
