Tips Time!

Here is my secret so I can prepare these deliciously fluffy chocolate pancakes at any time, especially for breakfast any day.

Instead of buying a premix pancake mixture, I measure and mix the dry ingredients myself—flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt and baking soda—and store them in an airtight container, so it is ready to be used at any time.

On days when I feel like having chocolate pancakes, all I need to do is get this DIY pancake mixture out of the refrigerator and add in the wet ingredients which are the egg, milk and oil.

In the blink of an eye, the chocolate pancake batter is ready!

If you are a chocolate lover, you can even add dark chocolate chips into the batter.

To make your pancakes even better, just melt dark chocolate with heavy cream to make chocolate ganache.

Drizzle the chocolate ganache on top of the pancakes while they are still warm. For a clearer view of making this pancake, do watch the video below.
