Chocolate Pancakes – Vegan & Gluten-free
Chocolate pancakes elevate your mornings to a whole new level. They are totally vegan and gluten-free.
The best mornings are those with a high stack of pancakes! I wish every day could be a pancake day. On weekdays this doesn’t come true for me as making pancakes takes some time. But when I do have the time required, it’s truly worth every minute.
Vary the basic vegan pancake recipe according to whatever you happen to have in your pantry to make a different kind of delicious pancakes. Chocolate pancakes are my kids’ favorites; they taste especially nice with bananas and peanut butter.

Never heard of lucuma? Just leave it out. Lucuma is a Peruvian superfood fruit that is used dried and powdered in smoothies, ice creams and desserts. It tastes like caramel and is pretty sweet.
Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free. Please read the packaging carefully if you are celiac, some buckwheat is handled in same manufacturing facilities with grains.
