Equipment

  • griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 0.25 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Spicy Chocolate Sauce

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cups heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Chili Cinnamon Sugar

  • 0.25 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
 

  • Stir together ingredients for chili cinnamon sugar and set aside. For the chocolate sauce, stir together ingredients in a metal bowl over a simmering pot of water. Let sit until chocolate melts and stir together. Keep warm over low heat until needed, stirring occasionally.
  • Alternatively, you can also melt the chocolate sauce in the microwave in 20-second bursts until it's smooth and melted.
  • For the pancakes, stir together dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, and melted butter separately. Then whisk liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. If batter is super thick, add more milk.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium. Add a small dab of butter or a drizzle of nonstick spray. Once hot, add pancakes in ⅓ cup measurements and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until bubbles show on top and the edges start to pull up slightly.
  • Flip pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side.
  • Serve pancakes while warm drizzled with spicy chocolate sauce and sprinkled heavily with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • If you want, you can keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200 degree oven while you make the others, then serve them all together.

Notes

These pancakes are best served warm and fresh for a delightful breakfast adventure.
