Banana Chia Chocolate Pancakes

These Banana Chia Chocolate Pancakes are the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent while still being deeply nourishing. Soft, fluffy pancakes studded with melted dark chocolate and sweet banana slices create that cosy, slow-morning feeling we all crave. They’re perfect for weekends, special breakfasts, or even breakfast-for-dinner when you want something comforting but still balanced.

The batter comes together easily and cooks into light, tender pancakes with just the right amount of richness. The bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, the chocolate melts into little pockets of joy, and the chia seeds quietly boost the nutrition without changing the texture. Drizzled with a little extra maple syrup or topped with more banana, these pancakes feel like a treat you’ll want to make again and again.

Coconut Oil – Adds richness and moisture while helping the pancakes cook up beautifully golden.

Almond Milk – Keeps the batter light and smooth, allowing the flavours of banana and chocolate to shine.

Maple Syrup – Provides gentle sweetness with a warm, caramel-like depth that pairs perfectly with banana and chocolate.

Dark Chocolate – Brings richness and indulgence, melting into the pancakes for bursts of deep chocolate flavour.

Bananas – Naturally sweet and creamy, bananas add moisture, flavour, and that classic pancake comfort we all love.

These pancakes are comforting, satisfying, and feel like a little celebration on a plate
