Classic Chocolate Chip Pancakes with a Twist… A Swirl to Be Precise!
Chocolate chip pancakes are an absolute classic! If you can find these chocolate swirl chips, I definitely do recommend them! While I love the classic semi-sweet chocolate chips, I have a major weakness for white chocolate chips. These chips are genius since you get the best of both worlds!
What if I Can’t Find Swirl Chocolate Chips?
That’s okay if you don’t have these chocolate chips! These swirl chocolate chips are simply a blend of white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. So, use half white chocolate chips and half chocolate chips in your batter and on top.
Protein-Packed Pancakes
All you need to complete these pancakes is the creamy peanut butter sauce. The peanut butter sauce helps boost the protein content of the pancakes because if you use powdered peanut butter as I did, there is a lot more protein than in regular peanut butter.
Making the Peanut Butter Sauce
In a small bowl, pour in cream and simply add the powdered peanut butter in the cream and mix well. So easy!
I used powdered peanut butter since that was what I had on hand and it made A LOT of sauce! The key is equal parts cream and equal parts peanut butter! These pancakes were so coated and it was really amazing! If you don’t have powdered peanut butter, you can use regular peanut butter. Simply use half the amount of regular creamy peanut butter. Keep in mind that your sauce may be a bit thicker, but if that’s what you’re going for then feel free to experiment and let me know the results in the comments!
Chocolate Swirl Pancakes with Creamy Peanut Butter Sauce
The pancakes themselves are simple chocolate chip pancakes, using either swirl chocolate chips or a mixture of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips. When making your batter, add the oat flour, most of your honey, and baking powder. Slowly add water and mix either by hand or with a stand mixer. Keep mixing until you’ve reached a thick but runny batter. Add in your chocolate chips, reserving 2 tbsp for topping.
Cook your pancakes as described in my basic recipe for pancakes Honey and Oat Pancakes.
After you’ve stacked your pancakes, drizzle on some extra honey and the chocolate chips for added sweetness and you're all set to have the perfect breakfast of champs! Enjoy!
