Did you know that February 25 is National Pancake Day?
When we are celebrating pancakes, we have to do it in style.
These Andes Chocolate Mint Pancakes are incredible and absolutely perfect for celebrating any day, but definitely pancake day.
I chose a combination of Ghirardelli products and Andes products for these pancakes because of their rich chocolate flavor.
And these pancakes are loaded with flavor.
This recipe is pretty easy, but you’d never know that when you taste it.
It’s like dessert for breakfast, which quite frankly, is okay sometimes.
We are big pancake lovers at our house and we have fun trying new flavors.
I love sharing them with you and I have a dozen or so on the blog, our favorites being Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, Best Blueberry Pancakes and Chunky Monkey Pancakes.
But our brand new favorite are these delicious Chocolate Mint Pancakes.
They are so easy to make and aren’t time consuming and they bake up into the puffy, deliciously fluffy pancakes.
If you simply want chocolate pancakes, omit the peppermint extract and use vanilla or no flavor.
You can fill the pancakes will chocolate chips, Andes Mint chips (what we did) or use another flavor entirely like peanut butter or butterscotch.
I love it when a recipe is so versatile that you can kind of make it your own.

Recipe for Andes Chocolate Mint Pancakes
Andes Chocolate Mint Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
- ½ cup Andes Chocolate Mint Chips
- cooking spray or oil for griddle
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add milk, eggs, oil and mint extract. And mix just until moistened. The batter may still seem lumpy, but as long as everything is combined, you’re fine. Do not over mix or you will wind up with thin pancakes, and not their fluffy counterparts.
- Gently stir in Andes Chocolate Mint Chips. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- After the batter has sat 15 minutes, heat a griddle over medium heat.
- Spray with cooking spray.
- For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle. Cook 1-2 minutes, until surface of pancakes are lightly bubbling and a peek at the bottom appears to be done.
- Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with a towel or aluminum foil to keep warm.
- To serve, cover in chocolate syrup and add more Andes Mint Chocolate Chips.
You can’t go wrong with chocolate and mint and that sauce on top sounds perfect!
