Ingredients
- A mist of cooking spray
- A cup of freshly hulled strawberries
- A cup of gluten-free oats
- Half a cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- Half a cup of unsweetened applesauce
- Two egg whites, brought to room temperature
- Two tablespoons of dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- A tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk with a hint of vanilla
- A teaspoon of baking powder
- A teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Half a teaspoon of almond extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Step 1
Mix together a delightful blend of fresh strawberries, wholesome oats, creamy Greek yogurt, sweet applesauce, fluffy egg whites, decadent chocolate chips, nourishing almond milk, leavening baking powder, fragrant cinnamon, rich almond extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Gently blend until the mixture is smooth and has a slightly fluid consistency.
Step 2
Prepare a skillet by preheating it over medium-high heat and giving it a light spritz of cooking spray. Pour a quarter cup of the batter into the sizzling skillet. Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles begin to surface, typically around 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and continue cooking until the other side is beautifully browned, usually 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the cooked pancake to a cooling rack and proceed to cook the rest of the batter in the same manner.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your strawberries fresh by storing them in the fridge in a ventilated container lined with paper towels to absorb moisture.
- 2. Store your chocolate chips in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to prevent melting and maintain their flavor.
