These super tiny but filling Mini Pancakes Chocolate Cereal was made popular during the shelter in place days due to Covid-19.
Despite the sad situation, people who are working from home became home chefs and self-taught cooks. And to avoid getting bored with the usual pancake each morning, some genius thought of making cute versions of pancakes that can be eaten as a cereal.
Should you add some milk since it is called pancake cereal?
It is totally up to your preference of taste! You can pour in your favorite almond or soy milk brand and voila- your very own homemade Mini Pancakes Chocolate Cereal for breakfast!
Tips on How to Make Mini Pancakes Chocolate Cereal:
- An offset spatula makes it easier to flip the mini pancakes.

In a medium bowl whisk together coconut flour, cocoa powder, keto-friendly sugar, baking powder, and salt:
Next add the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and mix:
You should be mixing until it’s creamy and thick, but somewhat runny (like pancake batter):
Carefully pour the batter into a squeeze bottle using a ziplock or funnel:
I used a squeeze bottle like this with the perfect size of spout:
Over medium heat, preheat the pan or griddle, brush a thin layer of oil or butter on your pan, then lower the temperature before pouring the batter to low-medium, because the pancakes are so small, they can burn easily.
Squeeze a small amount of batter about the size of a dime and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes, or until Flip, then cook on the other side for another minute:
Remove carefully using a spatula and serve warm:
