Healthy Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Healthy Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Made with Greek Yogurt, whole wheat flour and semi-sweet chocolate chips. A healthy and satisfying breakfast!
What’s better than chocolate chip pancakes? Chocolate chip pancakes you don’t have to feel guilty about eating. I lightened up these pancakes by using Greek yogurt, whole wheat flour and added flax seed.
These pancakes are guilt-free, super fluffy, thick and loaded with chocolate chips.
Breakfast is usually pretty boring around my house. During the weekday it typically consists of cereal or if I am feeling a bit crazy maybe toast. During the weekend I like to go all out for breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches and of course bacon.
