Petite Chocolate Pancakes

4.8 · 22 ratings
These little fluffy delights take the classic breakfast favourite to a decadent level. While they offer the comforting taste of traditional pancakes, the addition of glutinous rice flour gives them an uncommonly soft texture. Get ready to drizzle, stack, and savour the chocolaty goodness in every bite.

truly one of my favourites!!! they’re so easy and delicious :)


Marguerite De Valois - Jan. 4, 2026, 1:36 p.m.

Super ! Ça permet de changer des pancakes habituels. Je n'ai évidemment de farine de riz collant alors j'ai fait sans

I was out of Dutch cocoa powder so I used Nesquick and didn’t add any sugar and it still worked great! Chocolate and berries are my favourite combo!


Anzhelika Korosko - Sept. 2, 2025, 11:03 a.m.

Chocolate chocolate chocolate pancakes 🕺🏼

I have celiac disease and so I substituted the all purpose flour with King Arthur 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour. It turned out amazing! I will definitely be making these again :)

Thanks for taking the time to share the modifications, Diane! So glad that the pancakes were a success ☺️


Lena Faller - March 30, 2025, 11:02 a.m.

Super delicious and very fluffy. Feels like chocolate cake for breakfast. I also added blueberries in the pancake dough when they were baking on the first side.


Jody Harkness - Feb. 18, 2025, 9 a.m.

Can I sub cacao for the Cocoa powder in this ??

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 19, 2025, 2:56 a.m.

Hey Jody, you can swap cacao for cocoa powder if you'd like, just keep in mind that cacao is more bitter and less processed. If you prefer a sweeter taste to counteract any potential bitterness, you might want to add a touch more sugar or maple syrup. Hope you love the pancakes! 😊

This is extremely delicious. I added whipped mascarpone cheese and some strawberries on top of it.


Ri - Sept. 22, 2024, 12:32 a.m.

Hello, instead of Rice flour can I add cornstarch?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 23, 2024, 9 p.m.

Hey Ri, cornstarch isn't a great substitute for glutinous rice flour in this recipe, as it lacks the sticky and chewy texture that rice flour offers. You might want to try tapioca starch or sweet rice flour for a better match 🤗


Serena Stoppato - Aug. 4, 2024, 10:41 a.m.

Very tasty pancakes!
I didn't have maple syrup (tragedy) or fruit, so I added a no sugar soy yogurt and some strawberry jam 🤩


Jana - May 19, 2024, 3:15 p.m.

Delicious and easy to make.
What more can you ask for :)


Aileen - May 13, 2024, 9:19 p.m.

Yummy, but this pancake batter was definitely very thick. I also added some chocolate chips for extra goodness!


Rút - March 25, 2024, 10:55 a.m.

Made these twice, trying to get right, but always end up too dry. First time thought I’d accidentally over mixed, but not the case. Not sure what went wrong, especially as was using a scale. 😔

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 28, 2024, 4:28 a.m.

Hi Rut, thank you for the review! We have double-checked the weight of our ingredients at the studio and made some updates to the recipe, based on the feedback we have been getting!


Morgan - March 11, 2024, 1:03 p.m.

I made these with a scale but they needed more liquid at the end. They were pretty dense and dry but my kids liked them so that's all that matters.

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 11, 2024, 8:10 p.m.

Hi Morgan, thanks for sharing your experience with the pancakes! Is it possible that the batter was overmixed? Mixing too much can cause a dry texture and denser pancakes. For fluffy pancakes, we want to mix until the batter is just combined. We hope this helps for now and are glad your kids still enjoyed them 🙂


Milainy - Feb. 28, 2024, 8:40 p.m.

Love these pancakes! So delicious 🤤


Lucie Zachova - Feb. 2, 2024, 2:28 p.m.

I love it! ❤️

This is so good! I’ll make it again.


Nam Nguyen Hoai - Jan. 9, 2024, 10:25 a.m.

Very good, I love it. I baked it too, very yummy too.


Lily - Dec. 16, 2023, 4:35 p.m.

This was delicious and easy to make 😀
I made some small tweaks, reduced the sugar by half amount and added in a mashed ripe banana I wanted to use up. And added a bit more soy milk. Yum!!😋

Thanks for taking the time to share the insight, Lily! So glad that the Petite Chocolate Pancakes were enjoyed ☺️

These pancakes really goes down well in my family and they are not all plantbased eaters. I must make more of them every time!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 2, 2023, 3:07 a.m.

Such a big compliment! We're so thrilled that the pancakes are being enjoyed by the whole family, Barbara 🤗


Louise Magnusson - Nov. 12, 2023, 11:31 a.m.

These pancakes are delicious, so moist and intense in chocolate flavour without being too sweet. I enjoyed them with canned pears (being autumn; no season for berries) and almond butter. I can imagine that many combinations can work here!
The recipe was a bit off for me though😅
I followed the recipe with all measurements, but I had to add 1/4 cup extra liquid (I used oat beverage) to make it soft as a pancake batter. Consequently, I obtained 24 cute pancakes and four portions. More delicious chocolate breakfast bliss for me 😂

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the pancakes, Louise! Canned pears are a lovely idea 😃


Mathilde Willems - Oct. 29, 2023, 5:40 p.m.

Mini brownie pancakes! I used gluten free flour so the texture was a but more dry but still delicious with maple syrup and or peanut butter!

Aren't they cute?! Thank you, Elsa, we're so happy the pancakes were enjoyed 😊
