I’ve got 4 words for you: vegan chocolate chip pancakes.

Soft and fluffy, sweet and spicy, and filled with chocolatey goodness in every bite, then topped with coconut whipped cream and maple syrup. Um…yes, please!

I’m not gonna lie; these pancakes are kinda the best.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I’ve said it before, I’m not the biggest pancake person.

Given the choice, I would almost always choose savory over sweet for breakfast. Give me a tofu scramble and I’m the happiest person on the planet. Avocado toast? Sure! In fact, I can’t remember the last time I went out to brunch and ordered something sweet. However, I am a firm believer that there is a time and place for (nearly) everything. And that includes a decadent sweet breakfast.

That time: Valentine’s Day
That place: in bed.

And, what would I choose given the choice of sweet and decadent breakfast? Why, these vegan chocolate chip pancakes, of course!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Pancakes

You’re going to love these pancakes.

They are incredibly easy to make and completely and totally delicious. If you’re looking to start your day with decadence and sweet flavor, look no further! Filled with chocolate chips and cinnamon then topped with sweet coconut whipped cream and pure maple syrup, there is a delicious combination of flavors in every bite.

So stay in bed this Valentine’s Day with the ones you love and a big ole’ stack of these maple syrup-covered vegan chocolate chip pancakes.

You won’t regret it!

    Are the chocolate chips supposed to be mixed in the batter? The instructions don’t say when to add them (unless they’re supposed to be under the “toppings” list?)

      I’ve never tried it so I can’t recommend it but typically coconut flour cannot be swapped 1:1 for ap flour. If you do try it, let us know how it turns out!

    Hi, I would like to be sure about the ingredients. Is it 2 cups of soy milk or 2 cups of 1/4 for the soy milk? . I am sorry in advance, but I want to be sure before making the recipe. I hope my question is clear. thanks in advance.

    These were amazing! What a hit in ny house. I used almond milk instead and they still turned out great. It is just my boyfriend and I and we barely got through half the battet so my question is how long would it keep in the fridge covered, if at all? Thank you!

      I’m glad they were such a hit! The batter wouldn’t keep longer than a day.

    Can i use water instead of soy milk?

      That won’t work very well. It will make the batter runny and the pancakes will be less flavorful.

    LOVED these pancakes, Sarah! My son requested chocolate chip pancakes this morning and I did a quick search and found your recipe. The batter turned out perfectly for me and I followed the exact ingredient amounts you have listed. I preheated the pan after I made the batter and it did thicken up while it sat, so perhaps that was the problem others had. Anyway, we loved them. My son thanks you! 🙂

    Question? Why do we need to add Apple cider vinegar ? I’ve made this recipe before with cashew milk and it’s comes out just fine. Wondering why the Apple cider is necessary but haven’t tried this recipe exactly yet to actually know. Haven’t had soy milk in my fridge in a while either so im scared to add the vinegar to the cashew milk sonive decided to leave it out but would like to know what it does for the recipe ? Thanks !

      The apple cider vinegar curdles the soy milk making it similar in taste and texture to buttermilk. I like this both for the taste and how it gives rise to the pancakes a bit more. However, if it’s working out fine with cashew milk, there’s no need to add it to your pancakes.

    I switched the amounts for the flour and the milk and they came out perfectly!

    i think something about this recipe is messed up. i put everything in in correct quantities and it was like water. i have to almost double the flour to make this work

      I’m not sure why that happened; I’d have to know a little more about your process to help figure that out. I’m not getting those results.

      Same thing happened to me…I ended up adding more flour, but it was a total loss. Followed the recipe to a T

        I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not sure why you’re having that experience with the recipe.

    Can you make these as waffles ?

      I think that would work. Only thing I can imagine is the chocolate might stick to the waffle maker and burn. If it is well oiled, that may not be an issue. If you try it, let us know how it turns out!

    I rarely have the patience to make pancakes…but damn if these aren’t going to the top of my to-do list! And that coconut topping looks to die for!!!
