  • A stack of Chocolate Buttermilk Pancakes topped with vegan chocolate chips and fresh raspberries

    Chocolate Pancakes

    Everybody deserves to have a little chocolate for breakfast once in a while. These pancakes got five-star reviews from all of my testers. This recipe requires a nonstick skillet to keep the pancakes from sticking. Serve with whatever fresh fruit you like—we enjoy them with strawberries, raspberries, bananas, or a combination of all three.
