Step 1

Whisk together flour, hot cocoa mix, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk in milk, eggs, melted Smart Balance and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until combined.

Step 2

Spray a 12-inch skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and pour about 1/4-cup of batter into the pan for each hot chocolate pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until each pancake bubbles at the side. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove pancakes from pan and keep warm.

Step 3

Repeat with remaining pancake batter, adding 1 tablespoon Smart Balance to the pan with each batch. Serve hot chocolate pancakes with chocolate syrup and Reddi-wip®, top with chocolate sprinkles if desired.
