Pancakes are comfort food to the max for me. Those amazing stacks of buttermilky goodness preferably drowning in a lake of hot maple syrup is my soul language.
I always thought of them as “special occasion” breakfast food growing up, and now I try to make them a little more often for my kids. I am for sure projecting.
But you know little kiddies- they get bored easily. And nothing breaks up kid boredom like adding chocolate. Actually- that probably applies to adults too? So we decided to not only have breakfast for dinner the other night, but to spice things up with a little cocoa.
These particular pancakes are packed with banana and studded with tiny little bits of chocolate which melt when they are fried up. Kind of the best of all worlds. These are the ultimate weekend breakfast or if your kids are really lucky- breakfast for dinner!

I wish I had a big stack right now! Pinned!
Oh my goodness these look so amazing Heather! WOW!
What a great way to start the day off!
These pancakes look wonderful! Chocolate always puts me in a great mood too!!
Wish I was having these for breakfast right now!
Haha I’m a kid too, I get bored easily. I definitely would not be bored with a stack of these, though!!
I totally agree, pancakes are totally comfort food. And I love that yours are banana chocolate chip!
Im sure it is posted on your site but Im wondering what GF flour brand you use? Ive had a hard time finding any comparable to regular.
Hi Jenna- I use Bobs Red Mill All-Purpose GF. It is not the same as regular! but it is the best pre-made blend that I have found. There is Cup4Cup which is an excellent direct substitute- I just can’t use it because it has milk in it.
Just made these for breakfast and they were SO DELICIOUS, Heather! What a great recipe…xo
YAY!!! Ultimate compliment from you Cara!!
Making these right now! My kids are so quiet while eating them. haha
Awesome! I always like quiet kids that are busy eating 🙂
These look delicious. Do you use coconut milk from a can?
I use it out of a carton!
These look great. Do you use coconut milk from a carton or can?
From a carton!
This is my ALL-TIME favorite breakfast! <3
Can you use almond milk instead of coconut milk?
Yes of course Lauren!
Any other type of milk that would work? Almond? Flax? Also, do you think almond flour would be ok?
Of course! any dairy free milk will work!
Yes!
MAJOR SCORE!!! My kids LOVE these! Obsessed with your recipes. My kids are finally not complaining that there is nothing yummy and new that is allergy free!
