These stacks of whole-grain, gluten free chocolate pancakes are whipped up in a cinch thanks to the blender. Serve with whipped Greek yogurt, diced strawberries, and toasted walnuts for a nutritious and decadently delicious breakfast.
Is there any time of day when a pancake isn’t welcome at the table?
Not in my house. Though considering I (unapologetically) consumed that^ pictured stack of chocolately bliss for breakfast Sunday and dinner Monday, I may be a bit biased.
These pancakes are the perfect disguise for a breakfast with some nutritional heft thanks to the rolled oats, which also add hearty, nutty flavor and a bounty of fiber. Greek yogurt and walnuts also add extra staying power to keep you full and energized to power through your morning routine.
And just to forewarn you, the batter will look and taste exactly like brownie batter, but TRY to save it for the pan and not your pie-hole (easier said than done, trust me).
This two-serving recipe is perfect to make for you and your honey on Valentines Day. Or, if you’re like me and Valentine-less this year, you can take the edge off by enjoying the whole stack yourself. And maybe even adding some dark chocolate chips for good measure.
If that’s not showing true love to yourself, I’m out of ideas.
These pancakes also freeze wonderfully, so feel free to make a big batch over the weekend to freeze, reheat and enjoy throughout the week. 
Simple enough for weekday mornings yet tremendously crowd-pleasing for weekend entertaining. This is the day that chocolate becomes healthy enough for breakfast.
Enjoy!
