Description
Delicious and fluffy chocolate cherry pancakes topped with cherry pie filling and whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter plus additional butter for the grill or skillet
- 1 10-ounce jar Maraschino cherries, drained and chopped (set some aside for topping, if desired)
- ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Canned cherry pie filling
- Chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to medium. You can also use a skillet over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Add chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add buttermilk and melted butter. Mix to combine.
- Mix in cherries.
- Add wet ingredients all at once to dry mixture and mix until just combined.
- Place just enough butter on the surface of the griddle to coat it throughout.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto griddle.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the tops of the pancakes and then pop, about 5-7 minutes. The edges should also be somewhat dry/cooked.
- With a metal spatula, carefully flip the pancake over to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Top with cherry pie filling, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and that extra cherry!
Notes
- If desired, set aside some chopped cherries for additional topping.
- Ensure the griddle is well buttered to prevent sticking.
- You can customize toppings according to preference.
