Chocolate Pancakes- gluten free, vegan & top 8 allergen free

Chocolate pancakes, just because..........

No reason, other than we just really wanted a treat!  
We topped ours with a homemade chocolate sauce, which is kind of pudding like and fresh raspberries.  My oldest daughter and husband (who both don't have allergies) topped theirs with some peanut butter, chocolate sauce and raspberries- oh yum!

These truly are more of a dessert than breakfast in my book, but they are fun to make once in a while and delicious to eat!  

Enjoy!
