Instructions
To begin making your Avocado Chocolate Pancakes, gather a large mixing bowl and combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Use a whisk to mix these dry ingredients well, ensuring there are no lumps.
Next, in a separate bowl, combine the honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk this mixture until it is smooth and well blended, then gradually pour it into the flour mixture. Stir gently until combined, making sure not to overmix.
Now, take the ripe avocado and mash it until smooth; you can use a fork or a potato masher for this. Add the mashed avocado to your batter and mix until you have a thick, creamy consistency that is uniform in color.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle a little ghee or cooking oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, use a ladle to pour a generous portion of the batter into the pan. Do not spread it; let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Carefully flip the pancake to the other side and cook until it’s fully cooked and has a nice, golden-brown color, about 2-3 minutes more.
Once cooked, arrange the pancakes on a serving plate. For an added touch of sweetness, dust them with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, or add a splash of chocolate syrup as desired.
Serve your delectable Avocado Chocolate Pancakes warm, paired with a hot cup of espresso coffee and a refreshing fruit bowl for a delightful weekend breakfast that your family will love.
Tips for the Perfect Pancakes
- Ripeness of Avocado: Ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Cooking Temperature: Maintain a steady medium heat; too high will burn the pancakes before they cook through.
- Variations: Add some chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
Indulging in these pancakes not only satisfies your sweet cravings but also enriches your breakfast experience with healthy fats and antioxidants from the avocado and cocoa. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and the wholesome goodness they bring to your table. Happy cooking!
