THE STACKS ARE BACK!

If you’re an OG follower of the blog - and if you are, a big THANK YOU to you! - then you know back in 2017 in the early days of this blog, pancakes were almost the foundation. My tradition was to create a new pancake stack every single Saturday morning. While I’m a bit of a grump in the morning, Saturday mornings were always special coming up with a new pancake recipe, and I was looking forward to breakfast! On Instagram, I was known as the “pancake king,” and it was so much fun sharing my creations with everyone and seeing the reception for my cool pancake ideas! Posting the stacks was a weekly affair and it sure was a fun one!

My pancake recipes ranged from classic pancakes such as simple Buttermilk Pancakes, Red Velvet, Funfetti M&M, to very unique pancakes such as the Yin & Yang Cookie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes with Milk Dip, or the Ice Cream Sandwich Pancakes, I’ve been through the ringer of pancakes! Reflecting on this, I’ve seriously got a life journey summed up pancakes! Okay, maybe not my entire life, but there’s quite the chronology, and you can be part of it by browsing all my pancake recipes! There’s definitely something for everyone!

I hadn’t made a pancake stack in over a year at the time of writing this. Did I get burnt out of making pancakes? Not quite. Did I run out of ideas? No, I’m sure I could think of more! I don’t know, I’m just a savoury breakfast guy, and while there are so many sweet pancake recipes on the blog, I actually prefer savoury! Speaking of which, I should probably get on to sharing some savoury pancake recipes… But that’s another topic!

I’m here to you today because it’s now officially fall and the temperatures are falling. What better way to bundle up than with a cafe mocha? That’s my favourite coffee order at a coffee shop! Buuut what if you could eat your cafe mocha? Well, that’s what you’ll be doing with this epic Cafe Mocha Pancake stack! I can say this with certainty because I love drinking cafe mochas (recipe coming soon at the time of writing this!), so I refined my cafe mocha recipe within the week of cooking up this delicious stack! They do certainly taste similar and have the same components! This is a breakfast you’ll want to wake up to, and it’ll make any morning special!

I developed the idea of these pancakes because I recently received a lovely gift from Javy Coffee! They were kind enough to send me their liquid coffee concentrate (be sure to click the link for a 10% off discount!), and I wanted a creative way to showcase the product and to use it in my cooking. You don’t have to just #drinkjavy, but let’s cook with it! Coffee is actually an incredible ingredient for baking and cooking - hello coffee rubs! Let me know in the comments how you incorporate coffee in the kitchen besides, well, coffee!

Well, you can’t go wrong with experimenting with pancakes, right? The liquid coffee concentrate works so well in this pancake batter! What I love about this liquid coffee concentrate is that you can easily adjust the amount in the pancake batter depending on how strong of a coffee flavour you want. It’s easily scalable! For this recipe, I’ve used an amount where the coffee flavour is subtle but not dominant nor totally masked by sweetness. It’s got a good balance with the cocoa powder and sugar. However, if you’re a huge coffee lover and want a stronger flavour, it’s easy to add a few extra drops! If you’d like more of a chocolatey flavour, then feel free to cut back a bit! You’re easily in control!

However, if you don’t have the liquid coffee concentrate, then don’t worry! You can certainly substitute with instant coffee or espresso powder for this recipe.

If you’re ready to take a spin on your classic coffee shop order in the form of fluffy and soft pancakes, then let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients for Cafe Mocha Pancakes

This Cafe Mocha Pancake recipe has three components: The pancake batter, the Mocha Chocolate Syrup, and the Homemade Whipped Cream! Of course, if you’re using a store-bought syrup and/or store-bought whipped cream, then you won’t have to worry about those components. I do recommend you make the toppings yourself, though! It’s so easy to make the two toppings and won’t take too much time! Plus, they’ll taste so fresh and really enhance your pancakes! You’re treating yourself to such an amazing treat, so why not go all out? Let’s review what we’ll need for the three components.

Remember, the FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE CARD with all ingredient quantities is at the bottom of this post! You can easily scale this recipe to make as much syrup as you’d like!

  • Cocoa powder

How to Make coffee pancakes

For the Pancakes

  1. Preheat oven to 200 F.

  2. Combine the dry ingredients together and in another bowl combine the wet ingredients together. Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes.

  3. Heat a pan on medium heat with some oil or butter.

  4. Pour 1/4 cup of your batter onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you start seeing bubbles, then flip the pancake. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  5. Transfer your pancake onto a baking sheet and keep it warm in your oven.

  6. Repeat steps 3-4 for the remainder of your batter. In the meanwhile, make your chocolate sauce (if using) and whipped cream (if using).

  7. To serve, stack the pancakes on top of each other. Add your whipped cream and drizzle chocolate syrup as desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

For the Chocolate Mocha Syrup

  1. Heat a pan on medium heat and add cream to a sauce pan.

  2. Gradually add chocolate chips and whisk until they completely get blended with the cream.

  3. Add the Javy coffee concentrate or your instant coffee or espresso powder and whisk well. Adjust as necessary.

For more details, be sure to check out the Chocolate Mocha Syrup recipe.

For the Homemade Whipped Cream

Hand whisked method

  1. Begin by adding your whipping cream in a large mixing bowl and start whisking with a large whisk.

  2. Keep whisking and continue until the cream starts to thicken. Your arms may try to tire at this point

  3. Add sweetener of choice and vanilla and continue whisking until you observe soft peaks. Lifting the whipped cream with the whisk should result in peaks that eventually points down.

Hand mixer/Stand mixer method

  1. Pour the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer and start whisking with the whisk attachment at medium speed. Gradually increase the speed of the whisk until the cream starts to thicken.

  2. Add sweetener of choice and vanilla and continue whisking until you observe soft peaks. Lifting the whipped cream with the whisk should result in peaks that eventually points down.

For more details, be sure to check out the Homemade Whipped Cream recipe.

Tips for an incredible cafe mocha pancake stack

  • You can use butter or oil or no cooking oil if you have a true non-stick pan.

  • Mix the dry ingredients & wet ingredients in separate bowls, then combine them after.

  • No need to whisk out all lumps when combining all ingredients together. You want a thick but still runny batter.

  • Let the batter sit for five minutes so it becomes thicker.

  • To cook the pancakes, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter and wait until the bubbles have formed before flipping.

  • The underside of the pancake should not be wet at all.
