I’m having a hard time putting my feelings into words when it comes to this month’s bloghop topic. One thing that I can say is that I absolutely love it! I’m so excited for all of the delicious recipes that will be floating around before and even after Valentine’s day. I already have so many ideas whirling around my head, I can’t wait to spoil you all with decadent recipes that seduce you into making them. But, don’t worry, I’ll sneak in a few healthy ones here and there so as not to be so guilt inducing.

These pancakes tasted great, and the peanut butter sauce really set them apart. It was hard not to eat them all! Good thing they are extremely filling and I also had my sleepy boyfriend to help me out with eating them. 😀 I’d love to add some chocolate chips to the recipe, but I think it is rich enough as it stands. The gluten-free flour keeps the pancakes pleasantly moist and the texture is great! I’m still having dreams about the peanut butter sauce, though; I might just put that stuff on everything!

Gluten-free Chocolate Vegan Pancakes

These allergy-friendly pancakes are chocolatey, rich, and totally vegan! Drizzled with a lush peanut butter sauce they make for a romantic holiday breakfast dish.

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons agave nectar, or to preference
  • 2 teaspoons melted coconut or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Peanut Butter Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    1. For the pancakes, place non-dairy milk, agave, coconut oil, vanilla, oats, flour, flaxseed, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a blender in that order, and pureé until completely smooth. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes and warm a pan over medium heat, coat it with a thin layer of oil if you do not have a non-stick pan.
    2. Once the pan is warm and the batter has set, pour your pancakes to be 4-5″ wide. Wait until there are many air bubbles/holes coming out of the top before flipping over, just be careful not to burn them (you may need to lower the heat just a little bit).
    3. While the pancakes are cooking, heat your oven to 175°F or the lowest temperature setting. Keep a cookie sheet in the oven and place the pancakes on it to keep them warm while you use the rest of the batter.
    4. For the sauce, in a small bowl or cup, heat the maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla together; either in a double boiler or in the microwave until warm. Stir the mixture together until it is creamy and a little thicker than syrup.
    5. Top the pancakes with the peanut butter sauce and indulge! 🙂
