The Queen of Pancakes is BACK, and this time we are combining my two biggest loves in life…. Coffee and Pancakes! These Cappuccino Pancakes are incredibly fluffy, spiked with a caffeine kick, and topped with a lighter frosting that will blow your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture this… I was sitting in a dreamy little caf\u00e9 in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. The sun was shining, the Italian air was crisp, and I was sipping on the most magnificent cappuccino. Life was perfect\u2026 almost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I looked out at the ocean, a massive craving hit me. I didn’t just want coffee, I wanted pancakes<\/em>. But not just any fluffy pancakes<\/a> (though my cinnamon pancakes with raisins<\/a> always hit the spot). I wanted the flavor of that cappuccino inside<\/em> a fluffy stack of heaven. And because I\u2019m currently on a bit of a health kick journey (we\u2019re trying to be good, guys!), I knew I had to make them lighter without sacrificing a single ounce of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presto! The idea for these Cappuccino Pancakes<\/strong> was born right there on the coast of Italy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why You Need These In Your Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you know me, you know I take my title as the “Queen of Pancakes” very seriously. My pancake recipes have broken the internet before, and I have a feeling this one is next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get that signature height, we are using a DIY buttermilk hack to ensure these rise to the heavens! But the real secret here is the coffee kick, with instant coffee powder mixed right into the batter to deliver that morning buzz in every bite. We kept things lighter and guilt-free by swapping heavy cream for a Low Fat Vanilla Greek Yogurt frosting that tastes indulgent but is actually good for you, all topped with a water based hot fudge chocolate sauce that mimics rich fudge perfectly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
