Try these 10-minute fluffy, American-style chocolate pancakes (can be gluten and dairy free, should you have any allergies / intolerances).
Handy to make a load for on-the-go or as a late night snack whilst watching a film...
Plus, they're pretty high in fibre and protein to help keep you full!
Ingredients (Makes 4 American-Style pancakes):
- 130 g of gram flour (chickpea flour)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 140 ml of almond milk (or usual milk)
- 1 egg
- 2 servings of Stevia / Truvia to sweeten (or 1 scoop of flavoured whey protein powder if you need the protein)
- 1 kcal fry spray for frying
- Drop of apple cider vinegar (optional to help make them fluffier)
- Optional: 5 g cocoa powder
For the topping:
- 30 g of dark chocolate (I used 70% cocoa)
- A drop of almond milk / milk
- Handful of chopped strawberries
Method:
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, stevia / protein powder in a bowl
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg and slowly mix this into the flour mix until you get a smooth batter (with no lumps)
3. Heat some 1 kcal fry spray in a pan and pour in 1/2 the mixture (less or more depending on size of your pan) over a medium heat.
4. Turn the pancake after 2 minutes / when the top is bubbling, making sure both sides are golden and slightly risen.
5. Melt the chocolate with a drop of milk in a saucepan
6. Stack the pancakes up and top with strawberries and the melted chocolate!
