    What is Mini Pancake Chocolate Cereal?

    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.
    • Is cocoa powder not available in your pantry? Use dark unsweetened chocolate chips instead. It works just as well!
    • You can use this recipe for making chocolate keto waffles.
    • If you love maple syrup on your pancakes, there are low-carb, sugar-free maple syrup that fits your keto diet.
    • It’s best to use a squeeze bottle with a small spout for the batter because it helps form the perfect shape and size of the mini pancakes.
    • Add in mini chocolate chips to the batter and mix well.

    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:
