Notes
Before storing chocolate pancakes, make sure to cool them to room temperature. If you store them when they are still hot it will create condensation in the container pancakes that will make them soggy.
REFRIGERATION: After they have cooled to room temperature you can wrap leftover in aluminum foil, transfer to a plastic zip top bag, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Leftover pancakes will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
FREEZER: Before you store pancakes make sure you let them cool to room temperature. After they are cooled you can either store them in the refrigerator or in the freezer. Then you can either flash freeze the pancakes by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezing them for 1-2 hours then moving them to a freezer Ziploc bag or airtight container. Another way to store them in the freezer is in individual sandwich bags or by placing them in a gallon freezer storage bag and separating them by parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.
