Chocolate Blueberry Pancakes (made with unrefined brown rice flour).




















I think I may develop a pancake addiction.... Addiction sounds negative and these pancakes are far from bad so lets call it a healthy pancake habit :) <3

Looking at it you would think that it was loaded with sugar and super-sweet but you will be surprised with how little natural sweetening these pancakes have. The pancakes themselves are sweetened with a couple of dates and the easy to make choc sauce is sweetened with 1 teaspoon of honey.

Wow, was I blown away by this creation. Was exactly what I needed this morning as it was too cold for a smoothie. It was like eating a creamy spongecake with a hint of chocolate sweetness but instead of telling myself "oh I could have done without that" i thought "oooooooooooooh I will definitely be having more of these for breakfast and dam I want to make these for my friends and fam!"

Brown rice flour pancakes are full of nutritional goodness and tastes amazing - can't go wrong
;)

Recipe:
(serves 1-2)

Pancakes:
1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened yoghurt
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 brown rice flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 finely chopped dates
pinch salt
coconut oil (for frying)

Chocolate sauce:
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon honey


Extra berries and yoghurt for topping

1) gently beat egg - add yoghurt, vanilla essence and apple cider vinegar and mix
2) add to wet ingredients rice flour, cocoa powder, dates and salt and mix
3) stir in blueberries
4) heat up coconut oil in frying pan on medium heat and add a heaped teaspoon of batter in to form pancake (I make 3 in a pan to allow room for flipping)
5) flip when one side is cooked
6) when cooked, stack on plate and cook the other pancakes (this recipe makes 5 pancakes)
7) stack the rest of the pancakes and top it off with yoghurt, blueberries and drizzle with chocolate sauce (chocolate sauce made by mixing the 4 ingredients).
