Not Your Average Pancakes

Does your pancake batter look like this? I didn’t think so.

I planned to follow Katie’s Brownie Batter Pancake recipe, but since I didn’t have everything hardly any of her ingredients, I tweaked it. Just a little.

Here’s what I ended up using:

• 30 grams whole wheat flour (a little less than 1/4 c.)
• 1/2 scoop Original Amazing Meal
• 1 1/2 T (maybe more) unsweetened cocoa
• pinch of kosher salt
• 20 grams apple butter (about 1/8 c)
• 1 t ground flax + 3 t water [egg replacement]
• 1/3 c. almond milk
• 1 t. honey
• semi-sweet chocolate chips

You can probably tell that I just eyeballed a lot of stuff. I mixed the dry stuff, and the wet stuff separately and then combined them, mixing until smooth. Then I folded in the chocolate chips. I sprayed my pan well and let them cook over medium a little longer than normal pancakes so I could flip them. [They seemed kind of fragile.]

Then when I removed them from the pan, I sprinkled a few more chocolate chips on top and folded them in half so they’d melt into gooey deliciousness. While those melted, I sliced up a banana and thawed some frozen strawberries, then sliced those too. I stuffed some inside, threw some on top, and then drizzled the strawberry juice from the thawed strawberries over everything. Hellooooo!

I devoured it. As a disclaimer, I could taste a little green from the Amazing Meal when I tried the pancakes by themselves. But once I had all the fruit on there, I couldn’t taste it at all. Veggies with my chocolate pancakes? Yes, please.

This is how I pancake roll.
