These are simple and delicious M&M pancakes that were definitely a hit! This brought back so many memories of enjoying M&Ms and I had a great time adding them to my pancakes for a nostalgic and indulgent meal. I made the pancake batter chocolate to go all-out with the chocolate goodness for this pancake!

Enjoying the Colours!

M&M’s! One of my favourite chocolates! I’ve never been to an M&M store but I sure would love to visit one someday. I’ve heard they’re four floors full of M&M’s. Wow! What a childhood paradise to be in!

So, since unfortunately I can’t visit an M&M store anytime soon, these Chocolate M&M Pancakes will just have to do! I’d love to make these pancakes playing around with all the options they must sell at the M&M stores, but here I had a package of classic M&Ms. Fun fact: I’ve actually never tried peanut M&M’s before. But I hear they’re all the rage! That’s on my must-try list now!

A Cocoa Delight!

I love these pancakes because there’s so much chocolate! These pancakes are nice and fluffy because of the cocoa powder in the batter. I made the pancake batter chocolate to go all-out with the chocolate goodness for this pancake, as I don't imagine M&Ms being paired with anything other than chocolate!

How to Make Chocolate M&M Pancakes

These pancakes are really quick and easy to prepare, no matter your cooking level! To begin, you’ll combine the dry ingredients in one large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Add the wet mixture to the dry, and whisk well, but not too much or else the pancakes will become dense.

Then, heat a skillet on medium heat and add butter or oil. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out some batter and pour onto the pan. Add your M&M’s and wait until you see bubbles appear, about 1-2 minutes. Then, flip your pancake and cook for another minute or two, reducing the heat to medium-low. When the pancake has finished cooking, transfer to the oven to keep the pancake warm. Repeat these steps with the remaining batter.

When all the pancakes have cooked, stack them one on top of another on a plate. Top with your favourite toppings. I recommend more M&M’s, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Serve hot and enjoy!
