Ingredients
You will need (for around 16 pancakes):
- 200g spelt flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 40g caster sugar
- 20g melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 1 egg
- 275ml milk
- 40g dark chocolate chips
- Yoghurt with honey to serve
Method
Start by sieving the flour, baking powder and sugar into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl mix together the melted butter, egg and milk until well combined. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture and add the chocolate chips. Give everything a good stir to make sure it is well incorporated.
Heat a little knob of butter in a frying pan until it just starts to foam and then drop the pancake mixture in using around 2 tbsp of the batter for each pancake.
Fry the pancakes until they are golden brown before flipping them over and cooking the other side. Don’t be tempted to flip too early as you could end up with miserable looking pancake.
Cook the pancakes in batches until all the batter is used up then stack them as high as you like, drizzle with honey and serve with a big dollop of honey yoghurt.
I like to think that the spelt part of these pancakes means they add a fibrous benefit that negates the chocolate, sugar and butter. In reality I know that by eating eight of them I am waiting for the coronary police to come knocking. However as these are a treat I’m not too concerned and they are a delicious thing to make to accompany some yoghurt that might otherwise have been eaten with a simple banana. So while I am enjoying this meteorological nuisance by stuffing my face, when the weather does improve I’m sure to start creating lighter and healthier things. Yeah, right.
Thanks to Rachel’s Organic for the samples. All opinions expressed are my own.
I am really into spelt flour and love it’s flavour so imagine it works brilliantly in pancakes, particularly when you add chocolate and serve them with a very good Greek yoghurt. Divine!
These look healthy and I love it with the chocolate sauce.
Have just bought lots of spelt flour from Gilchesters organics. These look like a great healthy but scrummy recipe to use it in.
Seems you get better than honey and chocolate!
They look gorgeous, that honey dripping nicely from the pancakes looks divine..yum!

as far as i’m concerned, one of the few redeeming qualities of winter is that we can soothe ourselves with fatty, rich foods and not feel so ashamed. 🙂 lovely recipe!
Okay! This confirms what I already believed. You can make pancakes out of anything. GREG
I never tried spelt but yours looks fabulous!
Wow…pancakes looks tempting & gorgeous…. 🙂
i still have some spelt flour..maybe i can try this..it sounds good to me 🙂
I love pancakes and I love spelt – these look great and I like the flavor combination.
These look so good! I made blueberry pancakes the other day but I want to try more spelt and gluten free stuff. Beautifully done 🙂
love these pancakes can’t beat them when the weather is dreary
We’re having the same ridiculous weather! I think your marvelous, slightly decadent pancakes would be the perfect way to bring a smile to my morning!
I’d much rather have a stack of these pancakes than go for a jog in the park (good or bad weather!)
Delicious!
Thanks for visiting my blog. You have lovely recipes. agree with you that the weather has been quite miserable at this time of the year. I’m looking much forward to warmer and sunnier days. Pancakes are definitely very comforting when the weather is not. Love that you use spelt flour. I use a lot of spelt flour too, especially in my baking. Looking at your picture, I feel like wanting to go and make some now 😀
These pancakes look so delicious. Thanks Caroline for visiting me and for the sweet words. Following you 🙂
