1 piece (medium) of Chocolate Pancake (70 g) has 189 calories. That works out to 270 calories per 100 g. It contains 27 g of carbs, 4.3 g of protein, 7.1 g of fat and 1.5 g of fiber. Its 77 mg of Phosphorus covers 11% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 60 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A chocolate pancake is made by adding cocoa or melted chocolate to a batter of flour, milk and eggs, then cooking it on a hot griddle. It is a cocoa-rich variation on pancakes served in many places; in North American-style breakfasts, pancakes are often stacked and topped with syrup, while other households may serve them as a sweet snack or dessert.
The texture is tender and softly spongy, with a deeper chocolate taste when finished with sauce. It is mainly a carbohydrate-rich treat, with some protein from the batter, so fruit or yoghurt can make the plate more satisfying. For a less sweet serving, go easy on the sauce and add fresh berries or sliced banana.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make a chocolate pancake, whisk flour, milk, egg, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar into a smooth batter. Pour a small amount into a lightly greased pan over medium heat, then flip when bubbles appear and the edges look set.
Chocolate pancakes often turn out flat when the baking powder is old, the batter is overmixed, or the pan is too hot. Mix just until the ingredients come together, let the batter rest briefly, and cook over medium heat.
Yes, cocoa powder works well in a chocolate pancake and gives a strong chocolate flavor without adding much fat. Melted chocolate can make the batter richer and thicker, so you may need to adjust the milk slightly to keep it pourable.
A chocolate pancake is usually thicker and softer because its batter contains a raising agent such as baking powder. A chocolate crêpe is thin, flexible, and typically made without one, so it folds or rolls easily around fillings.
Fresh berries, sliced banana, yogurt, chopped nuts, and a small drizzle of chocolate sauce all pair well with a chocolate pancake. Tart fruit can balance the cocoa flavor, while nuts add crunch; add sauce after cooking so it does not scorch.
Yes, you can fold chocolate chips into chocolate pancake batter just before cooking. Use a modest amount and scatter them evenly, since chips can melt against the pan and burn if the heat is too high.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it before cooking a chocolate pancake. Wait until bubbles form and the edges begin to set before flipping; trying to turn it too early can tear the soft center.
You can mix chocolate pancake batter the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator, but it may thicken as the flour absorbs liquid. Stir it gently in the morning and add a splash of milk if it no longer pours easily.
Cooked chocolate pancakes keep for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Store them without fruit or sauce, which can make them soggy, and reheat only the portions you plan to eat.
Yes, chocolate pancakes freeze well once fully cooled. Separate them with parchment paper, place them in an airtight freezer-safe container, and reheat from thawed or frozen in a toaster, skillet, or microwave until warmed through.
