Lactose-Free Chocolate Pancakes

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, cocoa powder, caster sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well blended.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Then add the lactose-free milk and melted lactose-free butter. Mix until fully combined.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

4. Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of lactose-free butter or cooking spray.

5. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

6. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Top with your favourite lactose-free toppings—think maple syrup, fresh fruit, or even a dollop of lactose-free whipped cream!
