Ingredient

Dry ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup flour (whole spelt if available, if not whole wheat works fine)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt (salt really brings out the chocolate flavor)
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use grapeseed or canola)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 egg whites

--------------------------------

Instruction:

1. Sift together dry ingredients
2. Beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks, reserve
3. Whisk together remaining wet ingredients (milk, oil, egg yolks, sugar)
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients in large bowl, mix gently until just combined, lumps are ok
5. Gently fold in egg whites
6. Heat up griddle, you want it to be hot enough so that when a drop of water hits it, the water dances, but not so hot that it instantly vaporizes or so cool that the water just sits there and slowly evaporates.
7. Lightly oil the griddle, canola or grapeseed oil works the best.
8. Ladle 1/2 cup sized portions of batter onto the hot griddle, flip when bubbles appear and edges are dry

Serve hot with a pad of butter and real maple syrup. Photos coming when I make these next, which probably will be very soon because they are seriously addicting if you love pancakes and chocolate. Oh and did I mention they are super healthy? Whole grain flour + cocoa = fiber + protien + vitamins + antioxidants. Enjoy!
