Recipe of the Week: Christmas Morning Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

Avatar of Ryan-H

Posted December 22, 2011 by Ryan Huling

Every family has holiday traditions. For my family, nothing complements a busy morning spent ripping open presents with reckless abandon quite like a heaping stack of warm and fluffy pancakes. Of course, pancakes can be sweetened with any number of added ingredients—strawberries, blueberries, but since this is chocolate month on the blog, we’ll be serving up our pancakes Wonka-style.

This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make, so no need to take precious time away from playing with (insert the name of the new gizmo you just got from Santa here).

Christmas Morning Chocolate Chip Pancakes
1 cup whole wheat pancake mix (several vegan brands exist, so check the labels)
3/4 cup soy milk
1 banana, as an egg replacer, mashed
Small handful of semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
Real maple syrup
Cocoa powder, for garnish (optional)

  • Warm a pan or griddle on the stove over low heat and add a touch of vegan margarine or vegetable oil to coat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the pancake mix, soy milk, and banana. Ladle out pancake-sized portions onto the pan or griddle.
  • Add a few chocolate chips to each pancake and flip once the underside starts to brown. When both sides are sufficiently browned, remove the pancakes and start stackin’.
  • Top with syrup and garnish with cocoa powder (if desired), make a loud “mmmm” sound, and offer a bite to your jealous sibling.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
