I was going to make chocolate pancakes, but I ran out of Cacao powder so I settled for cinnamon flavour instead. On the bright side this gives me an excuse to make them again only chocolate flavoured and a chocolate sauce to go with them. Already drooling…but these turned out just as good so here’s the recipe for them.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Rolled oats
1 and a half Bananas
1/2 cup water (substitute with almond milk if you want a richer creamier taste)
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp coconut oil (coating the pan)
Note: adding more water gives you a smoother consistency (varies upon preference)

Directions

1. Set oven top on very low heat (3 or 4)
2. Blend the banana, water (or almond milk), rolled oats and cinnamon in a food processor till a liquid consistency forms
3. Once the pan is heated, lightly coat it with the coconut oil
4. Scoop the pancake mixture onto the pan, spread out and cook for about 30seconds on each side (they cook quickly so keep an eye on them) **

Here is the recipe for the Homemade Strawberry Sauce

Handful of strawberries
1 tsp Chia seeds
1 tsp Maple syrup
1/2 cup water (add more or less depending how smooth you want it)

Blend all ingredients together

Make them however small or big you want them to be; place on a plate and make the sauce next. Drizzle the sauce on top of the pancakes. You can use any berries to make the sauce depending on what you’re in the mood for – blackberries, blueberries, raspberries!

Lastly, I garnished them with coconut flakes, a few crushed walnuts and blackberries.
