Why These Chocolate Pancakes are Perfect for Any Season
While these gorgeous chocolate pancakes, with their rich cocoa hue and sweet raspberry drizzle, undeniably evoke the romantic spirit of Valentine’s Day (which happens to be a personal favorite holiday!), you might be surprised to find this recipe shared in the heart of autumn. The truth is, some treats are simply too good to reserve for a single date on the calendar. This particular recipe was initially unveiled as a grand finale for #Choctoberfest, a week-long celebration of all things chocolate, bringing together over 70 talented food bloggers to share an incredible variety of cocoa-infused creations. It was a truly delightful week for chocolate lovers, offering a vast array of recipes from rich desserts to savory dishes with a hint of chocolate. If you’re a fellow chocoholic, I highly recommend exploring the #Choctoberfest hashtag to uncover a universe of chocolate perfection.
Beyond these fluffy chocolate pancakes, my #Choctoberfest contributions also included the incredibly popular Salted Caramel Chocolate Pretzel Bars, a perfect blend of sweet and salty, and the utterly decadent Chocolate Ganache Brownies, which quickly became a household favorite. Don’t miss out on those delectable recipes if you’re looking for more ways to satisfy your chocolate cravings!
The Perfect Pairing: Easy Homemade Raspberry Sauce
No truly special pancake experience is complete without the right accompaniment, and for these chocolate delights, nothing beats a luscious Homemade Raspberry Sauce. I recently whipped up a batch of this vibrant sauce alongside these very pancakes, and I can honestly say it was a challenge to make sure enough of it actually made it to the pancakes! This bright, tangy sauce is so incredibly delicious, you might find yourself wanting to enjoy it straight from the spoon. Its fruity notes beautifully cut through the richness of the chocolate, creating a harmonious flavor profile that’s simply irresistible. This versatile raspberry sauce isn’t just for pancakes; it’s also a fantastic topping for ice cream, cheesecake, or even as an elegant drizzle for a special dessert. Consider making an extra batch to jar up – it makes a thoughtful and delicious holiday hostess gift!
Just look at that gorgeous color! Isn’t it inviting?

To say that these chocolate pancakes induce “pancake euphoria” would be an understatement. The sheer delight of indulging in rich, chocolatey goodness first thing in the morning is a culinary revelation. Forget your ordinary breakfast; these fluffy chocolate pancakes elevate the morning meal into a celebration. While the homemade raspberry sauce provides an incredible burst of fresh, tangy flavor, I find that a delicate dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of elegance and an extra layer of sweetness, making each bite even more enchanting. The visual appeal alone is enough to brighten any day, and they truly shine as a stunning centerpiece for holiday breakfasts, like a festive Christmas morning spread. The best part? Despite their gourmet appearance and exquisite taste, these pancakes are surprisingly simple to prepare.

Chocolate Pancakes with Raspberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Cocoa
- 1 cup Chocolate Milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- Homemade Raspberry Sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the Bisquick, sugar, cocoa, chocolate milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until the batter is smooth and well combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Heat a non-stick pan or electric griddle to approximately 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly coat the bottom surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated surface.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges appear slightly dry. Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and cooked through.
- To serve, prepare a plate by drizzling a touch of chocolate syrup (optional) onto it. Stack the cooked chocolate pancakes in the center, generously top with your delicious Homemade Raspberry Sauce, and finish with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation. Serve warm and enjoy!
