Fluffy Chocolate Banana Pancakes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

The fluffiest Chocolate Banana Pancakes – made with quinoa flour, banana, cacao, and chocolate chips for a protein-filled vegan breakfast that tastes like dessert!

Fluffy Chocolate Banana Pancakes

Is a quadruple layer stack of fluffy chocolate with chocolate chips sprinkled in and drizzled in extra syrupy sweetness a bit extra to be filed under the breakfast category? Maybe. But if so then I don’t want to be un-extra.

I could’ve added sprinkles. I could’ve topped the whole stack with ice cream. I could’ve used chocolate chunks for sprinkling and chocolate syrup for drizzling. So really what we’ve got here is quite tame. We’ll save all that stuff for the other end of the day, but mornings sometimes needs a smidge of decadence too. Healthier decadence – it’s a thing.

Fluffy Chocolate Banana Pancakes

Everyone needs THEIR pancake recipe. The one you can whip up while still half asleep on a sunday morning because you know the ingredients by heart. The one that never fails to flip perfectly and fluff up flawlessly.  And once you find it, it takes a LOT to make you stray. Try a new flavor? – sure. Cinnamon, blueberry, chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate chunk, chocolate swirl…

These quinoa flour pancakes are my pancakes. Oat flour pancakes can be gummy, almond flour pancakes are usually too dense, coconut flour pancakes without egg are a disaster, but quinoa flour is just right. I almost regret all those years I spent eating other pancakes not knowing the magic of the quinoa pancake was possible.

Reasons to love:

  • they are vegan
  • and gluten-free
  • made in the blender
  • thick and fluffy with zero gummy middles
  • never stick to the pan
  • did i mention the FLUFF (see fork shot below)
  • deeeeeeelish

What more could you possibly ask a pancake to be?

Oh, and they soak up syrup like it’s their job…which in a way it kind of is. Rough life.

Fluffy Chocolate Banana Pancakes

So that’s why I am bringing them back but CHOCOLATE this time. And switching applesauce for banana too because 1) chocolate + banana = ♡ and 2) we can. Banana works just as well as applesauce, so use what you have/like.

One batch makes 5-6 good sized pancakes, so it’s the perfect breakfast for two or even three people. Personally I am not a make-ahead person when it comes to pancakes, but if that’s your jam then eat half, freeze half, and consider tomorrow’s breakfast covered.

You could add chocolate chips to make them extra dessert-for-breakfast-y. Or you could add vanilla or coffee extract for a little extra flavor love. Or even cinnamon since that goes so well with both banana and chocolate. Or even walnuts for a chunky brownie vibe. Or nothing at all and just revel in every fluffy cocoa bite.

Fluffy Chocolate Banana Pancakes

I am confident that there is major potential for these to become YOUR pancakes too!

Description

The fluffiest Chocolate Banana Pancakes – made with quinoa flour, banana, cacao, and chocolate chips for a protein-filled vegan breakfast that tastes like dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana (120g)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (45g)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder (20g)
  • 1 1/2 cup (185g) quinoa flour*
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Blend the banana, milk, vinegar, and maple syrup.
  2. Add the dry ingredients. Blend on low until combine, stopping to stir as necessary. Don’t over-blend.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat (I recommend spraying it lightly just to make sure they don’t stick).
  4. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and spread into a circle.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath. Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes on the second side. Remove from the pan.
  6. Repeat until all the batter is used up. I got about 6 medium sized pancakes.
  7. Add toppings of choice and enjoy!

Notes

*To make your own quinoa flour, either grind quinoa flakes in a high speed blender or toast and grind whole raw quinoa. Video tutorial HERE

    Is it possible to use all purpose flour in place of the quinoa flour? Would you have to use different measurements if you used all purpose?

      March 26, 2018 at 3:58 pm

      I haven’t tested it, but should be fine! I would start with about 1 cup and add 1/4-1/2 cup more as needed to have a thick batter similar to the consistency in the video. Good luck 🙂

        I used the one cup of all purpose flour and it ended up coming out little thicker than I personally like so I added another splash of cashew milk and it ended up turning out great! They had great flavor and had a good amount of height to them. Great recipe!

    Hi Natalie! I’d like to try these but a quick question: I’ve been getting into the practice of soaking flour before using, to break down the phytic acid and make it more digestible. What would you think if I soaked the quinoa flour with the blended milk/ACV overnight, then added in the banana, maple syrup, then the dry ingredients? Am I potentially facing a texture/chemistry disaster? Or would it be worth trying?

    • Natalie says

      March 26, 2018 at 4:00 pm

      Hmm I have no idea to be honest, I’ve never tried it. I don’t think it will be a disaster, but it may make effect the texture and make them a bit gummier but it could be fine. Worth a try!

        Hi , i was trying to make a smaller mixture for two, i was just wondering what’s ingredient is holding this pancake together mine were a little breaky not sure if it was cooking or not enough of the ingredient that holds it together. Also is the apple cider vinegar for health benefits or adds to the mixtures consistency?

          August 30, 2018 at 8:18 pm

          There is no one binding ingredients here, it’s a mix of the banana and the flour that holds them together. I’ve never had an issue with these being fragile, but you could add a flax egg or a couple of tbsp of corn/tapioca starch to help with that. And the ACV is to activate the baking soda so they rise, very important! But you could use lemon juice too😊 Hope that helps!

    I followed the recipe, but the batter came out very thick. I even watched the video and the batter was thin, so unlike the batter I made. Maybe I misread the ingredients, which called for 1 1/2 cup quinoa flour. So, my comment would be “what the fruit is going on?”

      March 27, 2018 at 4:24 pm

      Hmm it’s hard for me to say what went wrong without having been there. Did you make your own quinoa flour or buy it? And how ripe was the banana? I would say next time just add more milk until your batter resembles that in the video, but yes 1 1/2 cups flour is correct.

      I have made this recipe at least once and have loved them both times. I used store-bought quinoa flour (Bob’s Red Mill, I believe), and the batter was fairly thick…like between the consistencies cake and brownie batter, I’d say. I haven’t watched the video yet to see how it compared. But it was thick enough that I wouldn’t have been able to pour the batter really…I more scooped it onto the pan. So, if you liked the finished product, then I’d say you were fine!

    Hello chocolate thick pancakes!! Nice to meet you, lol! Haha, I know what you mean about having your own pancakes recipe! For me, it’s ones made with pastry flour. Nothing compares to the perfect truly soft and fluffy texture it gives. But I can totally see how you are loving these. Quinoa flour has a strong flavor, so I can see how the chocolate and banana would really help to mask the flavor well! I love how healthy these are too, so that just gives permission to add lots of maple syrup on top, right?! Haha. I love adding chocolate chips into pancakes for a special treat but I add way more, I’m so bad, lol. I don’t have much restraint when it comes to those suckers. I love that first shot too Natalie, it is just glorious!! Between these and Mandy’s Chai Pancakes I have so many plans now, haha!

Holy epic fluffy stack…I have a pretty good feeling these could be our go-to pancakes! Why in the world haven’t I bought quinoa flour yet???? Willow just recently got back on board with quinoa, so I absolutely MUST make these asap! And all the ways you can change these up – mmmm. My brain instantly went to adding coffee extract or espresso powder to just amplify an already amazing combo (chocolate + banana). I about died when I saw the close up shots of these – no gummy, mushy centers! Yay!!! I’ve been anxious to make the original quinoa pancake recipe you have on here, but now I have a feeling these chocolate ones might make an appearance first. Can’t wait to make these! xo

But I am happy to hear it🤗 I’ve definitely picked up that coffee boost to chocolate things tip from Brandi over the years, and it makes such a difference. Plus extra breakfast-y, right?

        “Mom, the bananas are ripe!! Let’s make pancakes for breakfast!!” She has been SO anxious to make these and today was the perfect morning to whip them up because it was rainy and windy and a smoothie just wasn’t calling our names. HOLY fluffy perfection!!! 😍😍 I even ate a full pancake and I think quinoa can be added to my friends list! The flavor was really balanced…not too earthy (like quinoa can be), very subtle banana-y, perfect amount of cacao and sweetness! We added a touch of salt and vanilla to our batter out of habit and a few more chocolate chips 😉😆 Willow’s face lit up during her first bite and said we have to make these again! Josh just so happened to be home, too and gave them a thumbs up! Yay!! These will definitely be added to our pancake rotation. Our batter was super thick and I’m thinking it was probably due to making our own flour…but the outcome was absolutely delicious! Awesome recipe, my friend!! 😘😘

    Hi Natalie, I had to try these but I tried them with Green Banana Flour. First time I tried it, I used 1 cup of flour which was way to much and was a self inflicted disaster!! But yesterday I used just under 1/2 a cup of Green Banana Flour, the batter was slightly thinner in the beginning but they were great. I added the optional 1tsp of vanilla. I feel like that the batter would work really well as a baked sponge cake too!! I ran out of bananas to try it, but will soon. Let me know what you think if you try it with Banana Flour. Xx

    Hi there,
    I was amazed by looking at the video and loved the idea to use quinoa.
    Although I think the ratio liquid-dry seems to be not right. As I read before, I’m not the only one. It was impossible to blend in the dry ingredients. I doubled the amount. Of milk and it turned out better.
    Plus I added a lil chili powder and sea salt. So good. Kindly

Melt the chocolate chips (optionally add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil for a thinner/smoother coating). Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 12 rectangles. Dip each into the melted chocolate coating on all sides. Transfer to a pan or plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Store in the fridge.

NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down da NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down dairy-free soft serve daily until the weather forces me to switch to stop🍦 If you don’t own a creami, THIS is the ultimate easy blender method!

INGREDIENTS
-15oz can coconut milk
-1 cup nut/seed butter of choice (I used sunbutter)
-1/4 cup maple syrup
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Toppings of choice

Pour coconut milk (shake before opening) into an ice cream tray and freeze overnight . Blend the cubes + remaining ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. You will need to use the tamper and stop to scrape down the sides frequently, try to avoid adding extra liquid. Spoon into bowls as is. Or transfer to a piping bag, freeze for 30 mins or so, then swirl into bowls or cones for the “froyo” look. Top and enjoy!
