Get a healthy start to your day with these Chocolate Avocado Oatmeal Pancakes! They’re sweet, filling + taste like dessert! Vegan + GF
Yayyy another avocado recipe! You would think that all of our recipes would feature avocado since we are the “Athletic Avocados”, but nah haha. Rachel and I do not profess our love for avocados enough on the blog, but nonetheless, the affection is still there!
(Also side note: About 10 times a day, we get tagged in an avocado post on instagram, its great haha!)
Today I am showcasing avocados in pancake form. You wouldn’t think that avocados and pancakes go together well, but thats what you probably thought with these chocolate avocado brownies and these chocolate avocado muffins.
Chocolate and avocado is actually a fantastic combo in recipes. The avocado adds richness and intensifies the chocolate flavor. Thats why these pancakes are da bomb.
I love this pancake recipe because all you need to do is add the ingredients (sans the chocolate chips) to a blender and blend. Then make the pancakes on a griddle/pan and thats it! These pancakes are wholesome, filling, nutritious, sweet and delicious. You get your chocolate fix and a tasty breakfast in one, aka killing two birds with one stone!
Here is what you need:
oatmeal
avocado
dark cocoa powder
banana
maple syrup
egg
non-dairy milk
baking powder
dark chocolate chips >>>> a necessity

Amazing… I’ve always wanted one of those! Now I know which brand to put on my wish list… although, with Kitchenaid, you know it is great. Great review!
