Chocolate lovers rejoice! Here for your eating pleasure is a healthy low calorie and low fat chocolate pancake recipe. When Valentine's day rolls around, I always make these for my family. Now you can enjoy them as well! Serve with veggie breakfast sausages (such as Boca or Tofurkey) sparkling fruit juice, or for the adults a blood orange mimosa!
Makes one serving so please double for your convenience.
1/3 cup of uncooked oatmeal 1/4 cup of nonfat cottage cheese 3 egg whites 1/8 cup of vanilla fat free yogurt 1 to 2 tbsp of dutch process cocoa powder (I like mine real chocolaty!) 1/4 lite chocolate soy milk Mini semisweet chocolate chips Strawberries Powdered sugar (or a little powdered sugar mixed with cocoa powder)
Take all ingredients (except chocolate chips) and place in a blender jar. Blend thoroughly. Let batter sit for a few minutes while you heat your non stick pan or griddle. Spray pan or griddle with cooking spray. Pour pancakes into pan or onto griddle and then sprinkle with a few mini chocolate chips. Cook until edges start to dry, and the pancakes begin to look bubbly, then flip to cook on other side until cooked all the way through. Serve with strawberries cut lengthwise so that they look like little hearts. Dust with a light coating of powdered sugar.
