In our church, we have a world wide conference broadcast on tv every 6 months where the leaders of the church preach, teach, and share and we stay home and watch church on tv that weekend! There is a morning and after session for both Saturday and Sunday for that weekend. We LOVE to make a special breakfast and eat it while we watch the morning session.
Over here at the Boyd home, we sure do need our chocolate fix! We get excited Conference morning to make our "healthy" Chocolate Chip Pancakes! What's great is that it only needs 3 tablespoons of sugar! But don't let the "healthy" part turn you away, it's so yummy and flavorful!
Healthy Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Makes approx. 20 4" pancakes
Preheat your griddle to 375
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I like using Fage Greek Yogurt)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled ( you don't want it to scramble your eggs!)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups AP flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Whisk the milk, Greek yogurt, eggs, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in the dry ingredients with the batter until it is all incorporated and smooth. If your batter is too thick, go ahead and add more almond milk to make the batter thinner.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the prepared griddle. Flip over when the outer edges start to form bubbles. Cook for another minute and you're done!
- Cook the whole batter and freeze the extra pancakes! Just put them in the toaster when you want to eat them again!
These pancakes are so fluffy and have that nice outer crisp (not soggy! yuck!). *My secret to that is I cook the pancakes on a griddle with coconut oil-not a cooking spray! Just put a teaspoon or two of coconut oil after your griddle is hot and spread it around. Apply each time you cook a batch. Makes the perfect outer surface on each pancake every time!*
I hoped you enjoyed your conference weekend as much as we did here at the Boyd home. It was all so inspiring and exactly what I've been pondering about for quite some time and it was exactly what I needed to hear!
