Perfect for birthday breakfasts! Perfect for ANY breakfast!
OK so this is what we SHOULD have done for Dee’s birthday. The Plan was to fill her room with balloons while she slept so she woke up to a surprise and then finish the morning with chocolate chip pancakes but . . . Hong Kong happened!
So Saturday we threw the “party” I had planned for no reason, and you know what? I think it was better that way – just a nice surprise for the weekend! So without further ado, here’s my recipe for healthy semi-healthy Chocolate Chip Pancakes:
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour (or regular flour)
- 1/3 cup oats (I actually used one a pack of brown sugar oatmeal and left the next two ingredient out)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and optional 3 drops almond extract
- brown sugar or stevia, if desired
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder (and optional: pinch baking soda for flavor)
- 1 egg (or egg substitute)
- 1/2 cup w milk (or water or maybe even juice, if you wish)
- chocolate chips galore!
Steps
- Mix all the dry ingredients. (This can be done days in advance.)
- Put liquid ingredients into dry, then stir.
- Cook on medium-low, flipping 1/2-way through.
- Top with grated chocolate or chocolate syrup sauce.
Optional:
5. Add a toddler and a room full of balloons and you’ve got yourself one happy little camper!
Had to test the waters first but then she dove right in!!
Fun times with a room full of balloons!
