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.

- 1/3 cup spelt or white flour (40g)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (40g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract and optional 3 drops almond extract
- pinch stevia OR 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder (and optional pinch baking soda for flavor)
- 1/2 tsp ener-g egg (or just add extra baking powder)

Mix all the dry ingredients. (This can be done days in advance.) Put liquid ingredients into dry, then stir. Cook on medium-low, flipping 1/2-way through.

No measurement for the brown sugar I’m interested in making them what’s the measurement?
Use a tablespoon or a tbsp and a half.
I’m a HUGE fan of your recipes but your nutrtion info is always kind of weird. The flour alone already has about 140 calories (and I mean without the oats!) So I really don’t get how you can calculate 130 for the entire recipe.. But great recipe anyways!
made these twice this week! absolutely in love.
added a bit more liquid to my last little bit of batter and made an awesome crepe!!
thanks as always for the recipe, katie!
How much sugar and extra baking powder do you recommend?
I’d add a tbsp sugar. Maybe a pinch baking powder.
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?
