Instructions
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are well-combined. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, add honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk these together until smooth. The honey will dissolve into the milk, making a naturally sweetened mixture. -
Add Avocado:
Take one ripe avocado, peel and remove the seed, and mash it well. Stir the mashed avocado into the wet ingredients until it is evenly combined. This adds a creamy texture and a rich flavor to the pancake batter. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet avocado mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a whisk or spatula to stir everything together until you have a thick pancake batter. Be careful not to overmix. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with ghee. Once the pan is hot, pour a ladle of the batter into the center of the pan. Do not spread the batter out; let it naturally form into a round shape. Cover the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side. -
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Once the edges of the pancake begin to set, carefully flip it over using a spatula. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until the pancake is fully cooked and golden brown. -
Serve:
Arrange the pancakes on a plate. For added sweetness, you can dust the pancakes with powdered sugar, drizzle honey, or top them with chocolate syrup. These pancakes are best served with a hot cup of espresso coffee and a refreshing fruit bowl for a wholesome breakfast experience.
Enjoy these Avocado Chocolate Pancakes as a fun and nutritious start to your day, whether you’re having a leisurely weekend breakfast or treating the family to something special!
Serving Suggestion:
Pair with fresh fruit such as berries or banana slices for a balanced, tasty breakfast. You could also serve with yogurt or whipped cream for extra creaminess and flavor.
