Chocolate chip pancakes + update, healthy

These healthy chocolate chip pancakes will become one of your new favorite breakfast ideas! We personally love them and we make them using oats instead of flour and instead of chocolate chips we just chop some dark chocolate! Very simple, fast and satisfying healthy pancake recipe!

It’s been a long time since we've last written here. We feel embarrassed and like the most horrible person in the world.

But enough with the guilt trips. Let’s get to the excuses.

In our defense a lot of things have happened:

1. We're now 32 (happy birthday to us, yay and crying a little);

2. We were on vacation for a few days (hard to recover from that – it takes us WEEKS);

3. We were changing the whole look of the site in order to make it easier for all of us to find the posts. This made us so tired that we couldn’t even type;

4. We finally came up with an awesome tagline for this blog, it is: Feel good, not guilty. Really love it. And it took us like what? Only two years to come up with this? We're smelling a secret genius.

Now let’s get to the good stuff. The pancake stuff.

See, we can’t believe we haven’t shared this recipe yet. We've been making these pancakes for years! We’re talking probably 2-3 times a week, whenever we have 15 minutes in the morning and chocolate at home. So yes, 2-3 times a week.

Once you try them you’ll be going back again and again and again.

It’s the kind of recipe that isn’t overwhelmingly sweet, but you can’t stop eating.

We think we just described pancakes.

These chocolate chip pancakes are healthy

Here are the changes we made that make these pancakes healthy:

• We made these chocolate chip pancakes without flour, but ground oats, using eggs or chia eggs for our vegan friends, some honey/maple syrup/agave or coconut nectar instead of sugar, nuts and dark chocolate.
• Oh and some coconut oil for the cooking instead of butter.
• Instead of milk we used water <- it works!
• Instead of whipped cream and high-sugar chocolate sauce, we topped our pancakes with nut butter and berries or other fruits – like banana if we don’t add the chocolate chips (<- we hate banana with chocolate).

Now these pancakes are high-fiber, high-protein and rich in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, healthy fats plus some antioxidants.
