Brownie pancakes

An irresistibly chocolatey dessert – brownie pancakes – or the perfect brunch treat for chocolate lovers. Rich, decadent and fluffy pancakes packed with melted chocolate chunks. Best served with a fruity sauce and fresh red berries. Highly recommended!

Makes 12 pancakes.

Ingredients for the brownie pancakes:

• 1 and 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 45 g butter, melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 and 1/4 cup plain flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Whisk together the milk, egg, butter and sugar in a bowl. Sift in the dry ingredients – plain flour, baking powder and cocoa powder – and whisk until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Cook the pancakes over medium heat in a lightly oiled frying pan, cooking on both sides until golden (1 tablespoon of batter makes 1 pancake).

Serve with chocolate sauce and fruit, such as strawberries and raspberries

Ingredients for the chocolate sauce:

• 50 ml whipping cream
• 60 g dark chocolate, chopped

Heat the whipping cream in a small saucepan until almost boiling, then remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and leave to stand for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Enjoy!
