Ingredients
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup Flourish Chocolate Protein Pancake Mix
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips *optional
Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans
- 1 cup Favorite Espresso or Coffee Beans
- Melting Chocolate Wafers
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together hot water and coffee granules, until they dissolve. Once cooled, stir in coconut sugar, coconut oil, vanilla and buttermilk.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Flourish Chocolate Protein Pancake Mix, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Pour wet mixture into dry mixture. Fold together until combined but still a little lumpy, do not over mix. Fold chocolate chips into batter until incorporated.
- Line a hot griddle, or large pan over medium heat, with a thin coating of high-heat cooking oil. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the hot griddle, keeping at least an inch between pancakes. You may need to spread the batter out a little into a circle shape.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until there are no new bubbles and the edges start to brown lightly, then carefully flip pancakes. Cook for another 2 minutes, and place pancakes on plates. Repeat until the rest of the batter is used up. While the pancakes are cooking, make chocolate sauce.
- After pancakes are done cooking, stack 'em and drizzle with your favourite sauce (we love chocolate sauce) and enjoy!
Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans
- Melt the chocolate wafers in a small/medium microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Place a spoonful of coffee or espresso beans in the chocolate and coat, removing each one with a fork and letting the excess chocolate drip off.
- Place on wax paper and then put them in the fridge for up to 30 minutes to harden.
- Sprinkle on top of pancakes for an added boost of caffeine.
