Delicious Double Chocolate Milk Pancakes that are not just kid friendly, everyone loves these pancakes. Full of chocolate flavor and super easy to prepare for any day and perfect for a brunch!
Our older children are in college or working and we have our wee one, who is in middle school. She is a lucky girl! Besides having her Dad and me, she has her brothers and sister who love her. They are wonderful role models in her life! My older son has always loved music and is pursuing a music career with his band. My older daughter has always been an excellent distance runner. She ran Division 1 track in college, unfortunately suffered an injury, preventing her to continue running in college. She worked hard to overcome her injuries and is back running, placing at the top in results at her road races and marathons. Our younger son is focused on academics in college and his grades are excellent! He continues to workout and go to the gym. What does all of this mean? It means my older kids have instilled in our youngest daughter, the desire to have a dream and work hard to achieve that dream! Deirdre wants to play lacrosse in college and spends a lot of time working on her skills. She must eat well, as should everyone, but especially our busy kids! Starting the day with a nutritious breakfast is key to success for Deirdre and quite frankly everyone! That is one of the many reasons we love to start our day with a kid friendly breakfast from Nestle Nesquik.
I am sure your kids, like mine, are all quite active and you’re running all week and weekends to soccer, dance, lacrosse, etc! As parents, aren’t we always looking for kid friendly breakfast ideas so our kids start the day fully nourished! I love that Nesquik provides 8 grams of protein, 45% less sugar than the leading chocolate syrup, and 7 essential vitamins and minerals. There are so many options for breakfast recipes for kids, which is why I enjoy going to the Nesquik Breakfast Page where they have a lot of useful information and recipes for breakfast ideas for kids. Nesquik also has a really awesome Pinterest Page with more great kid friendly breakfast ideas! My daughter and I also love NestleNesquikUSA YouTube videos. They are another fun way to spend time watching videos on various topics including soccer advice and inspiring videos on allowing our kids to dream big and achieve their goals!
We love having a glass of Nesquik chocolate milk every day! We also love to make pancakes, so we decided to make pancakes and include Nesquik into the recipe. It was an awesome idea! Pancakes are a fantastic introduction to guiding your kids to cook and you can make healthy pancakes. They can learn to develop their math skills with measuring. Making pancakes is pretty simple and I started all my kids in the kitchen with a simple pancake recipe. We made these Double Chocolate Milk Pancakes together and we hope you make them with your family. I prefer cooking with a combination of whole wheat flour and keep the cholesterol down by using a combination of an egg and an egg white. I am thrilled to say these pancakes also freeze well!
Deirdre has been well fed with some yummy Double Chocolate Milk Pancakes and a glass of Nesquik Chocolate Milk! Now getting ready to practice some more to keep those dreams alive! We hope you enjoy and keep those kids active and eating well!
Enjoy some of these breakfast creations that make my family happy too!

Hi Eileen,
When I am in a rush, I make cereal with milk with Nesquik in the morning. I never tried to make pancakes with it though! Totally love them!

I like that you used whole wheat – it is important to use whole grains whenever possible.
Thank you! I agree
How delicious! Pancakes are my favorite, but I have never tried chocolate pancakes before. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
These are amazing!
What an indulgent but amazing food! These look absolutely incredible – I never make pancakes much myself (as I’m not the best), but your recipe will help. Thanks! 🙂
Super easy! Actually not as indulgent as they look. I use whole-wheat flour and low-fat milk 🙂
They look and sound amazing! I wish I could have one of them right through the computer monitor right now!
That’s funny! I am so glad you like the recipe
All of your kids sound like amazing, motivated kids! That’s fabulous! I can’t wait to try these pancakes with my kids (who are just 2, 4, & 6), as they are huge pancake fans! My 6 year old has even been helping make the pancakes, so I know she’ll love trying a new recipe!
Thank you! I thenk I am keeping them all ( my kids),lol Enjoy the time flies !
Nesquik to the rescue! What a fabulous idea to use that to make these delish pancakes.
Thank you Liz!
These look so good! I had not thought to use Nestle to flavor pancakes, this is ingenious! Thank you for sharing – we will have to try this soon!
I am so glad Paula! We have now added this in the regular routine. I love that I can use skim or low-fat milk too
Oh wow this sounds like such a fun weekend treat! Im going to have to try it!
That is great! Enjoy
My kids would love these pancakes for breakfast! We are huge Nesquick fans, I never thought to use it to make pancakes like this before!
My kids would love these!! We are huge fans of Nesquick chocolate milk I never thought to use it in pancakes!
We love them and the Nesquik made it super easy
Oh my! These sound amazing! We have a big thing of Nesquik in the pantry so I’m going to have to try this! I’m sure my kids would love it.
Super easy! My youngest is making these in the morning
Wow! amazing recipe. I have a full tin of nesquick and we hardly used it. Will try this recipe today itself for my son, as he loves pancakes.
I am so glad! I hope you let me know how your son liked these pancakes
This is such a easy way to make chocolate pancakes! And the raspberries are a great touch, too.

You had me at double chocolate. These pancakes sound super delicious!
Thank you Heather! Enjoy
I hope you make them and let me know how the recipe works for you
This sounds like it would be perfect for Sunday breakfast this weekend. We always make pancakes and while chocolate chip pancakes are popular, I think these would also be a huge hit!
I hope your family enjoys! The batch in the freezer was already eaten. I am making ore tomorrow
Chocolate milk pancakes? Yes please. I’m going to tweak your recipe to see if I can make it gluten free and as yummy as yours look.
Jill, I am so glad! I hope you enjoy. PLease let me know if you have a gluten-free version
These sound absolutely amazing! My kids love chocolate pancakes. They beg for them every morning.
These are super easy and tasty
Milk is such a great source of protein. Now now to have chocolate milk on top of it at 45% less sugar, why say no? Great recipe.
I used to drink Nesquik for breakfast every day as a kid! Ah the Memories…
Oh yes, me too!
OMG I am drooling over here. I have never had anything like these, but I can’t wait to try them.
Thank you Robin!
I cannot believe how fluffy and delectable these pancakes are. They must be so rich in flavor and perfect for enjoying during Sunday brunch.
You are so kind! Thank you. These are great!
Yum! Pancakes are a weekly staple at our house, but I’ve never made them with Npsquik. I’m going to surprise my boys with this soon!
Fabulous! Please let me know how the recipe worked for you
Whoa! These look absolutely delicious. I would never expect they had Nesquik in them 🙂
Thank you! So yummy!
