Happy Easter everyone! What a Sunday it’s been! I woke up early this morning and sneaked down to the shops to get ingredients for a new recipe – an Easter Chocolate-themed Pancake breakfast. I’ve seen lots of chocolate pancakes stuffed with Nutella and topped with melted Cadburys creme eggs on Pinterest, which, although may look moreish, would leave one hell of a sickly feeling afterwards!
So as always, I wanted to create a ‘best’ and healthy chocolate pancake option that was completely scrumptious and indulgent but meant you could still walk throughout the day!
Made with one banana, a dash of cacao powder, raw cacao nibs (which give an amazing chocolate chip crunch), greek yoghurt and protein-rich eggs, along with a few others ingredients. They’re a winner to kick off an Easter morning with, or Sunday…or day for that matter! You can watch a video of making the pancakes on my Instagram here.
I Skyped my dad this morning who was surrounded by my very hyper little brothers and sisters munching on huge chocolate eggs. These healthy pancakes may not replace Easter eggs but they’re a great addition…and I’m talking more for the adults than children!
The pancakes are super light and fluffy and with berries and a drizzle of honey on top, they work perfectly with the chocolate!

Thanks so much :) Try subbing the all purpose flour with an already-made gluten-free flour mix, they tend to be quite good and don’t come out too thick and heavy. I haven’t tried this recipe with one but let me know how you get on, I will try to have a look for others too :)
Thanks so much! I imagine goats milk would work well with the recipe, just possibly a slightly stronger taste. I personally would always go full fat as there tends to be much less sugar (which is the culprit of fat gain!) in this form. Let me know if it works with the goats milk :)
