Indulge in a decadent breakfast or dessert with these Cocoa Pancakes with Pecans and Caramel Sauce. This recipe combines rich cocoa, crunchy pecans, and a luscious caramel sauce to create a heavenly treat.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
340g
2 eggs
100g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/2 cup pecans
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, dry cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs and mix well.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Stir in Pecans:
- Fold the chopped pecans into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour or ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned on both sides.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
6. Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate.
- Drizzle generously with warm caramel sauce.
- Optionally, sprinkle extra chopped pecans on top for added crunch and flavor.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness combined with the crunch of pecans and the sweetness of caramel sauce.

Tips:

- Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh pecans and high-quality cocoa powder can make a big difference.

- Don't Overmix the Batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.

- Cook on Medium Heat: Cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and don't burn. Adjust the heat as necessary.

- Warm the Caramel Sauce: Warm the caramel sauce slightly before drizzling it over the pancakes. This will help it spread more easily and make the pancakes even more decadent.

- Fold in Pecans Gently: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the batter to ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.

- Serve Immediately: Pancakes are best served fresh off the griddle. Keep them warm in a low oven if you're making a large batch.

There you have it—delicious Cocoa Pancakes with Pecans and Caramel Sauce that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Whether you're serving these for a special breakfast or a comforting dessert, they are sure to impress. Enjoy every bite of this chocolatey creation!
