This Healthy Chocolate Pancakes Recipe is a special yet nutritious breakfast that is dairy-free & has no refined sugar! Because chocolate for breakfast is always a good choice!
Warm an electric griddle to 350 degrees F. (medium heat).
Combine the oats and cocoa powder in the container of your Vitamix (or other high-powered blender) and blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high, until the mixture reaches a flour-like consistency (about 15-30 seconds).
Add banana, honey almond milk, sea salt vanilla and baking powder and blend until combined.
Add egg and pulse to combine. If batter looks too thick, add more almond milk 1 TBS at a time until your desired consistency is achieved.
Stir in mini chips by hand.
Melt 1 TBS butter or coconut oil on your warm griddle (or spray it lightly with cooking spray).
Drop batter in ¼ cup portions onto the pre-heated griddle, with at least 1” of space between each pancake.
Cook on the first side until the edges start to become darker brown and look set, and bubbles begin forming throughout the batter (about 2-4 minutes).
Flip and cook on the second side for 3-4 minutes or until it is lightly golden brown.
Repeat until all the batter has been used.
Serve warm with pure maple syrup and fresh berries!
