These sweet Chocolate Almond Pancakes are the perfect brunch treat! Chocolate and almond are a match made in heaven!

Chocolate and almond are best friends, so these Chocolate Almond Pancakes have the perfect combination of flavors.

For the almond flavor I used almond extract and super fine almond flour. Then I added sliced almonds and cacao nibs for some crunch.

The cacao nibs balance out the sweetness of the pancakes because they are slightly bitter. You could also top the pancakes with chocolate chips.

Top these pancakes with your favorite topping like fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter. I enjoyed mine with fresh raspberries and almond butter the second time around.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes are another fun pancakes recipe to sneak some chocolate in.

🧾 Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Gluten-free all-purpose flour: I used gluten-free all purpose baking flour. Use your favorite.
Superfine almond flour: Make sure to get the superfine almond flour. You don't want almond meal because it contains the skins of the almonds and has a coarse texture.
Baking powder: Makes the pancakes light and fluffy.
Cacao powder: Adds chocolaty flavor. You could also use cocoa powder.
Flax meal: Acts as a binder. You could also use ground chia seeds.
Salt: Enhances sweetness.
Agave syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use maple syrup.
Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
Almond extract: Adds a fruity flavor. You could leave it out.
Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk. You could use plain or vanilla almond milk, soy milk, oat milk or another non-dairy milk.
Coconut oil: For cooking the pancakes. You could also use vegan butter.

🔪 Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
Add the wet ingredients. Whisk to combine.
Add coconut oil to a large skillet. Heat on high heat.
Pour a few tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet. Repeat with 1 -2 more pancakes depending upon the size of your pan. Cook until bubbles form, flip and cook the other side.

🥡 Storage

Store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

❄️ Can I Freeze Them?

Yes you can. Freezing and reheating them doesn't change their taste or texture.

Just make sure to separate the pancakes with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they don't stick together.

💭 Tips

Even if you are using a nonstick skillet you will still want to use coconut oil or vegan butter. It will help the pancakes from sticking and it adds flavor.
If using almond extract, taste after ¼ teaspoon to see if that's enough for you. Some people find the flavor to be a bit strong. You can also leave it out.
