For the past few days, one of my friends has been staying with me while she waits to move into a new apartment, so basically, it’s been an ongoing slumber party.
We’ve had movie nights, spa nights, and every night is chocolate night.
On the menu last night: Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Yet both of us woke up craving chocolate again this morning, and the only way to remedy this was to make a chocolate pancake feast.
Brownie Batter Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup spelt, white, or oat flour (for flourless, try these Keto Pancakes)
- 1 tbsp dutch cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil, or applesauce or mashed banana for fat free
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 – 5 tbsp milk of choice
Instructions
- Stir dry ingredients well, then add wet. Add more milk of choice as needed to form a batter consistency. Grease a nonstick pan well and heat on medium. When skillet is hot (add a drop of water to test – the pan is ready if it sizzles), drop small ladles of the batter. Use a spatula to flip when edges begin to look dry. Re-grease the pan after each set of pancakes.*I personally much prefer the oil version but some readers really like the fat-free one so I'm including that too. I haven't tried subbing regular cocoa powder for the dutch, so be sure to report back if you experiment with that. View Nutrition Facts

My mouth is literally watering!
I always had and went to slumber parties! We would watch movies, eat lots of junk food, do each others nails, talk all night…
AMAZING!! I look forward to making these. You are just so clever you! 🙂 Just a dollop of whipped cream or soy cream for me….hmmmm
THOSE LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Katie, these look amazing! So super chocolatey and the perfect recipe for your blog! 🙂
I miss sleepovers SO much — we used to have so much fun being crazy silly together!
I know, me too :(. I miss so much about being younger… I never actually thought I’d miss high school!
I miss certain things (like sleepovers!!), but I like where I am now even more! The best is yet to come, dahling! 🙂
So true… lol I guess I should stop looking back on the past so that I don’t miss my “present”!
Katie, have you considered going into the “Food Porn” business? I could seriously LICK the screen right about now.
My parents tease me all the time about not taking advantage of the “sleep” in sleepovers! We mostly just hang around and gossip/surf the internet/watch TV/eat
Haha if there was a food porn business, I think I’d definitely want to make that my career. Wow, that sounds naughty.
OH MY MUPPETS I am seriously counting down the days till Pancake Sunday now!! Best looking pancakes EVER!! I am definitely DEFINITELY making those on Sunday!! 😀
Oh, and I just caught up on your last gazillion posts since I’ve been away, and I love them all, and your decisions one the MOST!! SO HAPPY SO HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY for you and when the CCK book comes out I am buying it first thing and then taking a day off to make everything in it and it will be the best day EVER!!
LOVE for Katie!!!!! <3
I’m just so happy you’re back!!! I missed u!!! 🙂
Oh heyyyy action shots! Food pron at it’s finest 🙂
Yum!! We used to stay up all night at “sleep”overs too. Then we’d have what mom called a sleepover hangover the next day! These definitely look like perfect sleepover hangover cures.
Hahahaa sleepover hangovers… I think chocolate is a perfect cure for any hangover :).
OH EMMMMMMMM GEEEEEEEEEEEE…. you are killing me Miss CCK 🙂
Death by chocolate? 🙂
These look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! CHocolate and spinach for breakfast- sounds like my kind of day! 🙂 Sleepovers- oh how I miss the days of WANTING to stay up and play, now I WANT to sleep, but have too much to do. ha!
AHHH YUMMY!!!! I just made some waffles that look almost identical to that (but, of course, I didn’t have any sweetener in them, so they were bitter). It tastes fabulous with peanut butter frosting and sliced bananas!
Used to love sleepover parties – my friends and I would play music, board games, watch movies, prank-call people (HAHA 😀 ).
WOWZA those pancakes – the best.
Looks good!! I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never actually had chocolate in pancakes before, or even chocolate sauce, I am obviously weird. I’ll try them and let you know whats better fruit vs. chocolate, I’m afraid I think fruit might win!! x
Making these…tomorrow!??
If you ever figure out how to send pancakes in the mail….please send some to me at college. Please and shanks. <3
G-frand you KNOW I love sleepovers — still do! I love staying up late and talking forrrrever. Doesn't get any betta.
Katie, you are amazing! I remember how much I loved sleep overs growing up… we used to eat such junk though! If only we had known about your awesome healthy dessert recipes! 🙂
