Chock full of hearty oats and melty chocolate chips, you’ll feel like you are eating cookie dough for breakfast!
Hmm. The same can be said for my Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal.
I guess I just really like chocolate for breakfast.
No, I didn’t really top my pancakes—the ones I actually ate—with chocolate syrup. But I’d cooked a batch the day before and put them in a plastic bag to stay fresh. Well, silly me didn’t know that if you cover a batch of pancakes, they get gooey-moist and go bad. No worries; I now had a whole batch of pancakes to use for a crazy photo shoot. So the pancakes didn’t go to waste. (I hate wasting food.) And the next day, I quickly made up a new batch to eat for real.

Just made these for my boyfriend! His response was “These are the best pancakes you’ve ever made me so far” 🙂 was thrilled! I told him I got the recipe from that healthy dessert blog I’m on 24/7 hahah 😛 Thanks Katie for yet another amazing recipe!
Hi there,
I was just wondering if you could tell me how to make these using cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips. I try really hard to avoid sugar. I will use a little coconut palm sugar or stevia. Do you think adding a little of one of these to the batter would be enough sweetness with the cacao nibs and if so, how much?
Thanks!
What is the calorie count for these pancakes? Thanks!
Am I supposed to mix the ener-g with water, per ener-g instructions? Or throw it in with the dry ingredients?
I made these today and they turned out absolutely perfect! My sister and I both agreed that these are the best pancakes we’ve ever had (not to mention how healthy they are). Thank you so much for your time and commitment to create healthy, delicious, and easy recipes! You really do deserve your success today!
Hi Katie,
Just wanna ask is it possible to substitute the spelt flour/white flour for buckwheat flour?
Hi Katie,
I loved this idea. I doubled the recipe for hungry hubby and myself this morning and it absolutely did not work. Too soupy and so it didn’t flip without getting messed up. 🙁 I’ve put the batter in a bread pan to try and salvage it in the oven. Just wanted you to know in case anyone had a similar experience.
I love.your blog Katie! These are my go- to pancakes! I always have to double the recipe since my non vegan hubby loves them so much! I use 1/3 cup of flour and 1/3 cup oat flour. I always let my batter sit for a little bit so maybe that helps because they turn out great. I do make them small though because the bigger they are the harder they are to flip.
I just made this and it tasted really good. Would highly recommend the recipe, especially the cookie.
Awesome receipe.
