These raspberry pancakes with chocolate sauce make a wonderful special occasion breakfast. Everyone loves this easy gluten-free recipe.
We enjoy pancakes almost every weekend. There are so many different variations, and we try to mix up the traditional pancakes with different flavor combinations throughout the year.
Chocolate and raspberries go so well together, and these pancakes are popular with everyone in my house.
Raspberry Pancakes Tips
This pancake batter comes together quickly and easily. Raspberry puree goes into the batter to give the pancakes a mild raspberry flavor, and fresh raspberries on top add to the flavor.
The chocolate sauce is a simple combination of maple syrup, chocolate, and raspberries, and the pancakes are flavored with raspberry puree. Melt the ingredients before you’re ready to serve the pancakes so everything is ready to go at the same time.
These are great for a special occasion like a birthday or Valentine’s Day, but they’re simple enough to enjoy any day of the week.

February 8, 2013 at 8:40 pmThese look lovely! I’m digging your berry and chocolate theme 🙂 I’ve not heard of white whole wheat flour, though hardly surprising since we’re gluten free nearly 2 years now!

February 9, 2013 at 8:34 amThanks, Dana. White whole wheat flour is a lighter form of whole wheat that’s still whole grain (as opposed to white flour).
