Indulge in the deliciousness of German Chocolate Pancakes made from a cake mix. These pancakes are loaded with sweet coconut, crunchy pecans, and decadent chocolate chips. Top them with homemade German chocolate sauce for an extra treat!
Instructions: Mix the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and chocolate cake mix together in a sizable mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined. Add chopped pecans, semisweet chocolate chips, and sweetened shredded coconut to the pancake batter. Grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray or butter and heat it over medium-high heat. To make pancakes, ladle 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the heated skillet. Cook until surface bubbles appear, then turn and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side. Make the German chocolate sauce while the pancakes are cooking. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the granulated sugar and evaporated milk and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the mixture thickens. The German chocolate sauce should cool slightly after removing the saucepan from the heat and whisking in the vanilla extract. Drizzle the German chocolate pancakes with the homemade sauce while they are still hot.
