I left a review and wanted to leave one more comment – I froze my leftover pancakes and tried them last night, heating 2 in the microwave for 30 secs and they turned out delicious again.

Like I said in my review, I’ve never cooked with coconut milk before. I live in a small town whose grocery store doesn’t carry it, so I had an opportunty to go to the big city to shop at a new organic/health food store. Will so be purchasing coconut milk again and will be making these pancakes again. Make this recipe. Don’t put it off. It’s soooo good and healthy at the same time!

I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but my boyfriend loved these even more than the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie pancakes I’ve been making him. I used Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder, so they were really chocolate-y. Also, no coconut milk on hand and I had some buttermilk leftover, so I used that. The batter was nice and thick and the pancakes turned out wonderfully thick and fluffy. I’ll DEFINITELY be making these again. Thanks!

So tasty and not overly sweet like I thought they might be. My husband and I agreed we thought they were better with whipped cream than the maple syrup. Thanks for sharing!

We whipped up a batch of these this morning & they were fab. We did make a few substitutions–I didn’t have any coconut milk, so I used . . . half & half! (I know, I know, not nearly so healthy this way.) I also used ghirardelli cocoa powder & bumped it up a bit (the kiddos wanted more chocolaty goodness). Then, to half-heartedly make up for not using the coconut milk, I chopped up some strawberries & let them stew in some sugar & their own juices for a bit, then served them over the chocolaty pancakey deliciousness.

Wow these pancakes were delicious. Mine were much darker from using Dutch process cocoa, which made it tricky to judge their doneness. A couple were burnt until I figured out how to tell. They had a great chocolate-coconut flavor. A keeper.

These are really good. Not too sweet which is perfect. I used white whole wheat flour which didn’t affect the texture and ghirardelli cocoa powder (Yum!). Poured maple syrup on it. Delicious and moist pancakes. Thanks for sharing!
