Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Almond milk, unsweetened
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, egg whites, honey, vanilla extract, and avocado oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet using a little avocado oil if needed.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
In a blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy to make the chocolate spread.
Serve the pancakes warm with a generous spread of the homemade chocolate mixture on top.
