Instructions
- Start by making the chocolate filling. Put all "chocolate filling" ingredients into a small bowl and stir with a whisk. Spoon the chocolate spread into a silicone mold (see pic below). You will need to make 6 "chocolate discs" in total. Put the mold into the freezer for about 30 minutes.1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp coconut oil, 2 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- To make the pancakes simply put all dry ingredients into a bowl and stir with a whisk.1 cup oats, 1/2 cup rice flour, 4 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp ground chia, 1 tsp baking powder
- Process all wet ingredients (except the oil) in a food processor or blender.220 ml plant-based milk, 1 banana, 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to combine (don’t overmix the batter).
- Once the chocolate discs are firm, you can start making the chocolate stuffed pancakes: Preheat a skillet to low-medium heat and add a little bit of oil (or use cooking spray).1 tbsp coconut oil
- Pour about 1 1/2 heaped tbsp of the pancake batter into the skillet, spread it and place 1 frozen chocolate disc into the center of the batter. Add more batter (approx. 1 1/2 tbsp) to cover the chocolate.
- Put a lid on the skillet and cook the pancake for about 3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook if from the other side for a further 2 minutes or until golden brown. Continue with the remaining 5 pancakes (Tip: Use two skillets at the same time to save time).
- Keep the pancakes warm until you serve them.
- Enjoy with banana slices and a chocolate sauce!
Notes
• You can use 80 g of applesauce instead of banana.
• The chocolate filling isn’t very sweet. If you prefer it sweeter, then add 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (or more to taste). You can use any nut butter of choice, e.g. hazelnut butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, etc.
