Dark Chocolate Pancakes

17 September, 2016
Dark Chocolate Pancakes

I was feeling pretty sorry for myself this morning, as I haven’t been feeling too well. So, to treat myself and as an excuse to use my NutriBullet, I decided to whip up some pancakes. These are similar to the one I posted about here but truth be told, I think they’re waaaay better. That might have something to do with the addition of dark chocolate (insert monkey covering eyes emoji here). They’re still healthy (until you whack a load of maple syrup on them) and they make a super tasty/Instagrammable brunch. So, if you fancy trying these bad boys out, here’s how to…

Ingredients (serves 1)

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 banana
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free oats (or normal ones if you can eat them)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 squares of dark chocolate
  • Frozen berries
  • Maple syrup

Method

  • Crack the eggs into your NutriBullet/food processor and add in the banana, oats and vanilla essence.
  • Whizz it up until it’s all blended together and forms a smooth batter.
  • Once blended, break your dark chocolate into small pieces and mix in to the batter using a spoon.
  • Heat up some coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
  • Pour the mixture into the frying pan. I always struggle to make lots of small ones, so tend to make one big pancake and then quarter it once it’s cooked on one side.
  • Leave for 5 mins or so, or until you can get a spatula around the edges to make sure that it’s not sticking and that it can be flipped. It’s at this point that I then cut it into quarters…it’s also just much easier to flip the quarters rather than the whole thing!
  • Whilst this is happening, whack your berries in the microwave for a minute to defrost them.
  • Flip over and keep cooking for about another 5 mins, until the pancake is spongy and the chocolate has melted.
  • Serve up on to a plate and top with the berries and as much maple syrup as you fancy!

The dark chocolate in these pancakes makes them feel like a big treat, without being that bad for you. Hope you enjoy!

What are your fave pancake toppings?

Gorgeous spot for lunch overlooking the vineyards Gorgeous spot for lunch overlooking the vineyards and hills of Temecula, California. We spontaneously booked a vineyard tour with @destinationtemecula when we were there last year and I’m so glad we did! Our tour guide was brilliant - she was super knowledgeable about the area and the wine making process and even got us a behind the scenes tour at one of the vineyards. Such a fun way to spend a day in the sunshine!

Scallop and Prawn Cobb Salad with a bottle of whit Scallop and Prawn Cobb Salad with a bottle of white wine...the perfect weekday lunch in the sun! Throwing it back to San Diego last summer. I can’t believe the weather today though, this salad would have been ideal. Strolling down by San Diego Bay and stopping off here was the way to spend a morning/lunch! .

We always knew it was coming but our trip back to We always knew it was coming but our trip back to NYC and Vegas has now officially been cancelled 😔 But we’re lucky that we have our health and can replan this trip (and hopefully plenty of others) for the future! I have so many pics from trips and meals out that I’ve never posted, so am going to spend this time throwing back and getting excited about plans for when all of this is over
