It’s pancake day!!! Well, nearly. And as some of you will be aware, that’s my favourite event of the year. Yes, you can have pancakes any day, but there’s something I enjoy about knowing about two thirds of the country are also enjoying their pancakes on the same day, and it’s a great time to come up with yet another new flavour. This year, I’m sharing this peanut chocolate pancakes recipe, and I love this one because you can make it quite simple or go all out for a full dessert.

Nutritional Information
The following information is for the recipe as a whole, without the chocolate chips and toppings.
This recipe contains 327 calories, 13g of protein and 7.3g of fibre per stack. Providing you opt for a fortified milk; this recipe contains a quarter of the RDA of calcium and an eighth of your daily vitamin D.
Ingredient Choices and Substitutes
I tried this recipe a couple of times with peanut butter versus powdered peanut butter, liquid sweetener or regular sugar and found the ratio listed below to be the best for texture and flavour, so I wouldn’t play around too much in terms of swapping the core ingredients.
The batter for these pancakes was quite thick, and as you can see, I went for the fluffy stack. If you prefer a thinner pancake, use either a tbsp or two less flour or add another eighth of a cup of milk.
As sweet as you like
I’ve left the sweetener and milk as generic as possible so you can make the best decisions for yourself. But my liquid sweetener of choice was butterscotch syrup and I used vanilla soy milk – I wanted to go all out on sweetness to the point it was borderline cake batter. No regrets, it was exactly what I was aiming for and highly recommend those options, but you can also opt for healthier alternatives if that’s your preference.
Dessert or breakfast?
This stack was my Saturday morning breakfast, and while it’s clearly sweeter than average, I only drizzled mine with some thinly mixed peanut butter mix and some extra syrup. If you want to go all out with the chocolate and peanut butter theme for a dessert stack, add some Nutella and nut butter between your layers and serve with ice cream.

Deliciously sweet fluffy stack of peanut chocolate pancakes. Perfect for an indulgent breakfast or dessert depending on your toppings.

Peanut Chocolate Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup GF oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter
- ½ tbsp sunflower oil
- ½ tbsp liquid sweetener
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Add oat flour to a medium to large mixing bowl, sift in the cocoa powder, powdered peanut butter and baking powder and whisk to combine.
-
Measure out vanilla soy milk in a large liquid measuring cup, then add oil and syrup and whisk to combine.
-
Add wet ingredients a little at a time to the dry ingredients and gently, slowly stir until just combined. You may not use all of the liquid. Then stir in the chocolate chips (if using).
-
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium/medium-low heat. You want it warm but not hot. Oil should not smoke when added to the pan.
-
Once hot, drizzle the surface with oil (if necessary for your pan) but wipe away any surface excess with a paper towel. You don’t want any pools of oil, just a light grease.
-
Then pour a small amount of mix into the pan. Cook until bubbles appear and the sides are beginning to dry – about 3-4 minutes. Cook for another 2-4 more minutes on the other side. There should be enough batter for 5 small pancakes.
-
While the pancakes are cooking, prepare your chosen toppings.
-
Once all pancakes are cooked, stack them up, drizzle with syrup and any other toppings of your choice.
Serve and enjoy!
Would you serve these peanut chocolate pancakes for breakfast or go all out with the toppings for dessert? What’s your go-to for pancake day?
Until next time,
Sophie
Oh my days these look and sound amazing! Is it strange that as a baker I’ve never heard of powdered peanut butter? That sounds so interesting, I’ll defiantly have to look into that. These pancakes are making my mouth water, they look incredible. Thank you so much for sharing with us lovely Xo

You say dessert or breakfast but when it was lockdown 1.0, I started experimenting with pancakes and I’d have chocolate ones for dinner! These looks amazing; I definitely need to start making pancakes more often again. I bet the peanut butter is a great addition xxx
Sophie, these are going to be made today for the whole house because we have both a vegan and someone who’s intolerant to gluten so they are just perfect! Plus I just love the peanut butter & chocolate combo!
Love this vegan recipe! Thanks for sharing!

You had me at peanut and chocolate if I’m very honest and I totally forgot to make pancakes yesterday!
I’m not really a fan of peanut butter but I definitely like the sound of chocolate pancakes. x
These look amazing! I’ve really grown to like peanut butter and chocolate together – I often do a gluten free cookie that uses peanut butter and a banana instead of flour and it’s so tasty with choc chips! 🙂
Hope that you are having a good week 🙂
Oh my goodness. These look and sound so delicious. I’m definitely going to be giving this recipe a try!
Oh these look absolutely amazing! I have a slight intolerance to gluten, so these sound like the perfect combo for a chocolate and peanut butter lover. I can never say no to pancakes x
These sound delicious. I would definitely go all out with them as a dessert.
A very interesting recipe! For recipes on pancakes, I tend to let my partner know – he LOVES pancakes, haha. Thank you for sharing this one! It might be just the ideal recipe for my Mom too right now.
This pancake recipe is fantastic! You included nutrition information, as well as suggestions for how to adjust the ingredients to reduce the sweetness. Thank you; I’ll try to make these pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.
