In this blog post, we’ll take you on a delightful journey into the world of Mini Choco Lava Bombs, from their origins to how you can make them at home.
INGREDIENTS USED IN MAKING CHOCO LAVA BOMBS
MILK
This recipe is an eggless recipe and hence milk acts as the binding agent. Milk along with vinegar forms buttermilk, which is a vegetarian egg substitute. Not only that, but milk makes the pancakes more moist and light after cooking.
COCOA POWDER
The chocolate element in this cookies and cream pancake bombs is coming from cocoa powder. I have used Hersheys cocoa powder but you can use any.
RAISING AGENTS
Baking soda and baking powder are used as leavening agents to make the pancake bombs fluffy and light.
TIPS FOR MAKING CHOCO LAVA BOMBS
1. Whisk all the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients.
2. Heat the paniyaram pan well enough and grease as well before pouring the pancake batter.
3.. You can switch the filling to your liking as well. This chocolate batter goes well with nutella, lotus biscoff etc.
