Decadent Chocolate Whole Wheat Pancakes

Yesterday I wanted chocolate, and pancakes, this morning I’m having Chocolate Whole Wheat Pancakes. Follow your dreams! 

This chocolatey stack, with its thick creamy glaze is pure breakfast decadence. 

I’m having a very serious chocolate phase right now. But I guess you can probably tell that from my feed. 

To tell you the truth, those savory recipes that I posted alternating with all these chocolate ones are just meant to serve as post-padding. They’re there so that my feed isn’t entirely brown. That wouldn’t look too pretty, but on the other hand it would be totally delish!

Speaking of delish, that’s exactly what these pancakes were! Rich and chocolatey and just so so good.

No need to feel guilty either. They’re are made with whole wheat flour, and have no sugar or fats whatsoever! Fits in as post-workout carb-loader too. 

Now you can start AND end your day with desserts.
