Chocolate Cherry Pancakes

Chocolate Cherry Pancakes are absolutely delicious. The mix of cherries and chocolate chips in the fluffy pancakes is just incredible.

I am a bit obsessed with pancakes I’m not going to lie. I love them. They are so easy to adapt and change with each making session. At the moment I am loving a stack of American style pancakes for a special brunch or breakfast. In my latest batch I raided the pantry for something to add to them. I found some glacé cherries and a bag of dark chocolate chips. I knew that together they would make an incredible breakfast. Black forest pancakes!

How incredible do these golden brown cherry and chocolate pancakes look!

At first I had thought I had burned them when I flipped them but it was the dark chocolate chips which had melted while cooking. The cherries added a fruitiness to the finished pancakes and the chocolate a tasty rich bit which was delicious together.

Pancake recipe for children

The pancakes are super easy to make and great to make with children too. It’s a good whisking up exercise. When the results are pancakes there will be a lot more dedication to getting them made. I know it works on me. I’m driven to do the hand mixing, by the promise of eating the delicious food when it’s done.

Black forest pancakes

Black forest is a truly wonderful set of flavours and you can see why are so iconic now. Chocolate and cherry are a flavour partnership which just keep on giving us wonderful results. Making black forest pancakes is really easy I promise. You take a beautfiul simple pancake recipe and mix in chopped cherries. Fresh or preserved cherries both work, but you will need to take the pips out of the fresh if you have them. Once the cherries are we add a few chocolate chips and hey presto we are ready to cook.

If you want to take it to the next level drizzle molten chocolate sauce over them when you are serving. You definitely can’t go wrong with more chocolate.

Chocolate pancakes

Chocolate pancakes are delicious so easy. If you want to make these extra chocolatey you can replace 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Resulting in pancakes which are chocolatey with chocolate chips in!

Maraschino cherry pancakes

For this recipe I used glacé cherries but Maraschino cherries would work so well too! They are two versions of the same fruit, the glacé which has been more processed in the thick syrup. The maraschino I find to be a bit juicier. Both will work and both will taste rather delicious.

Sour cherry pancakes

Sour cherries in pancakes are really great. It give that adjustment from the more sweet version of pancakes. They sweet and sour are a great match for pancakes and in general!

Pin me for later

I love this recipe for pancakes. It never fails me and it’s one I give to everyone who wants a really simple recipe to use. If you don’t like cherries leave them out. Not a fan of dark chocolate then make it milk chocolate. It’s easy to adapt to your favourite flavours.

Serving Suggestions

These pancakes are great ready to eat as they are. I’ve also served them with maple syrup on top (Definitely one for the sweet tooth fans). Ice cream also worked really well or even a drizzle of single cream works. If you make a few extra they taste really good cold as a snack later with a cup of tea!
