Recipe: Chocolate Pancakes

This is a recipe of some chocolate pancakes I made the other day. It is adapted from a recipe from Cancer Council NSW. I had soy milk instead of normal milk and I know that soy milk has quite a distinct flavour and doesn't go well in everything. So to mask this flavour I added cocoa powder to make chocolate pancakes. I also didn't have any pears so I used half a banana, saving the other half for the toppings. I also halved the amounts since I didn't want to make too much in case they didn't turn out too nice. But luckily, they were super delicious!

This is my adapted recipe:

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup self-raising flour
3/8 cup cocoa powder (I used the same 1/2 measuring cup and filled it 3/4 full)
1/2 soy milk
1 egg
1/2 a banana (mashed)
A swirl of honey (approx 2 tsp) (optional)


  1. Sift the flour and cocoa powder
  2. Add the egg, milk, mashed banana, and honey
  3. Mix until the batter is smooth
  4. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and spoon the batter onto the pan to the desired size
  5. When bubbles start to form and the edges start to dry, flip the pancakes and heat for an extra minute or until cooked through. 
  6. Serve and enjoy :) 
For my toppings, I used mixed berries, banana and honey.
