Ingredients

Chocolate Ganache

  • 220 grams of Heavy Cream
  • 220 grams of 70% Dark Chocolate

Chocolate Pancakes

  • 90 grams of White Rice Flour
  • 36 grams of Tapioca Flour
  • 18 grams of Corn Starch
  • 36 grams of Brown Rice Flour
  • ½ teaspoon of Xanthan Gum
  • 30 grams of Cocoa Powder
  • 2 ½ teaspoon of Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of Salt
  • 40 ml of Vegetable Oil
  • 40 grams of White Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 240 ml of Buttermilk at room temperature
  • 80 ml of Full-Fat Dairy Milk (or Almond Milk)
  • 80 grams of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Chocolate Ganache

  • Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until the heavy creams simmer. Remove the saucepan from heat.
  • Add the chocolate chunks to the heavy cream and let them sit for about 3-4 minutes. Then, whisk together the chocolate and the heavy cream (clockwise motion) until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Cover the top of the chocolate ganache with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming and allow it to cool while you prepare the pancakes.

Chocolate Pancakes

  • Whisk together white rice flour, tapioca flour, corn starch, brown rice flour, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set the mixture aside
  • Whisk together the vegetable oil, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and milk. Then add the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and fold them into the chocolate pancake batter using a spatula.
  • Heat a non-stick greased medium-sized skillet over low-medium heat. Then, pour ¼ cup of the pancake mixture into the center of the skillet and let it cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on the sides, then flip the pancake and cook it on the other side until it is cooked through (1-2 minutes). Optional: You can coat the skillet with butter after each pancake to prevent the pancakes from sticking if you are not using a non-stick skillet.
  • Serve the pancakes with chocolate ganache.

Notes

  • Dairy-Free Option: The chocolate ganache can be made dairy-free by using dairy-free heavy cream. The chocolate pancakes can be made dairy-free by substituting buttermilk with a mixture of 240 ml of Almond milk and 1 tablespoon of White Vinegar. Meanwhile, the full-fat dairy milk can be substituted with full-fat almond or coconut milk.
