If you’re not a huge fan of chocolate, this recipe isn’t for you. Just kidding, you’ll probably still love them! Gluten-Free Chocolate Pancakes – the name says it all. And I may have drizzled chocolate sauce on mine.
Chocolate on chocolate. Such a winning combination in my opinion.
My kids love all pancakes, and Gluten-Free Waffles, but these pancakes are something special. We’re having tons of fun trying new pancake flavors … and test tasting them.
These gluten-free chocolate pancakes are a whirl of fun and quite tasty. You can eat them plain, or top with your favorite toppings.
They use Ryze Gluten Free Flour as the base, rich cocoa to give them the perfect chocolate touch, and a splash of high-quality vanilla to pull it all together.
My girls and I have thrown in extras like mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts on occasion for an extra special breakfast treat.
These are incredible without toppings too, so don’t feel like you need to pile toppings onto these Gluten-Free Chocolate Pancakes.
When making pancakes there are a few tips that I like to remember:
- Non-stick griddles work best, but if you don’t have one, a non-stick pan will do (but don’t oil it).
- Don’t over mix the batter, or the pancakes will be tough or rubbery.
- The batter should be a little on the thin side and it’s okay if there are lumps.
- Test one pancake first for doneness and cooking temperature.
- Don’t flip pancakes until bubbles start to appear and the edges are cooked.
We like to double our pancake recipes and freeze the extras for a quick breakfast on a busy morning. If you plan to freeze any, make sure they are completely cooled before placing them into a container. This will help prevent them from sticking together. When you are ready to enjoy them, pull them out and microwave them. Simple!

I’m drooling over that forkful of chocolate goodness! I’m a pancake lover anyway, so this is just perfect for me. I’ll have to give it a try with flax eggs.

Chrystal, you realize that now I will never be able to convince my toddler that she can’t have chocolate pancakes for breakfast because there is no such thing! Any excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast is great!

Hah. Sorry about that 😉

What flour combination can I use to replace the Ryze yellow bag flour? I can’t buy that in Canada.
chrystal says
You can use a blend with rice, tapioca, and potato, or your favorite blend.
Best,
