triple chocolate pancakes*

*not for the faint of heart

This recipe is about taking risks. Being bold. Jumping the gun. Not holding back. This recipe is about taking chocolate, adding chocolate to it and then drizzling more chocolate on top. It's about satisfying a chocolate craving to the point that you never want to eat chocolate again for the rest of...nah, everyone knows that the laws of nature dictates that there's no such thing as too much chocolate!

mwahahaha. I clearly have too much time on my hands if I am making a chocolate gif.
This recipe can be summed up in one simple equation:

chocolate pancakes + chocolate chips + chocolate sauce = triple chocolate pancakes

Yes, we are reaching seriously dangerous levels of chocolate here. Yes, it's gonna be awesome.

double chocolate pancakes [dairy free]
why do food bloggers cut their pancakes like this?
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbs cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbs brown sugar
1/4 tsp coffee powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup milk (I used cashew)
1 egg
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips

chocolate sauce
4 Tbs milk (I used cashew)
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbs brown sugar
2 Tbs semisweet chocolate, melted

To make the pancakes
1. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients.
3. Fold together the wet and dry ingredients until everything is moistened.
4. Heat a greased pan on medium heat.
5. When the pan is hot, add 1/4 cup of pancake batter to the center. Throw on additional chocolate chips because why not. When bubbles begin forming on the surface of the pancake, flip the pancake.
Cook for about 30s-1 minute. (lift the edge with a spatula to make sure it's done)
6. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To make the sauce
1, Melt the chocolate with the milk in the microwave.
2. Add cinnamon and brown sugar. Mix well.
3. The sauce should be relatively runny - but will set over time.
4. Pour over pancakes and let the food porn ensue!

Let's be real. Who wouldn't want to wake up to this?
