Cappuccino Pancakes

With a hot fudge sauce? Oh my…. You know those mornings where you feel like you need coffee in everything? Because one cup of coffee just won’t do? Well, that was my morning!

The chocolate chips added into the mix just glorified them even more. How do they taste? Incredible. Exactly like CAKE! And I only speak the truth. So a coffee cake for breakfast to start the day, with melt in your mouth choclate chips..topped with a creamy ‘frosting’ and dusted with chocolate dusting powder. Because it’s not cappuccino without dusting powder.

Do you see the top? Dusting powder. The heavenly addition to ANY cappuccino creation!

Beautiful coffee flavoured fluffy pancakes. The perfect Zing to your Zang. Ok. Too far? NEVER!

I knda have a slight obsession with Cappuccino flavours, I think. There’s that Chocolate Chip Cappuccino Cake from a while ago… and then I’m kinda guilty of making my Fudgy Cappuccino Cake Bars. I know. Self-confessed coffee addict right here.

And what does the inside of this glorious stack look like?

So fluffy. So perfect. And melt-y chocolate chips.

Notes

Weight Watchers 7pp per serve

I love using both white and wholemeal flours to my pancake mixes to make them filling without losing the pancake flavour or texture, however, you can definitely use whatever flour you're used to!
