Ingredients

For Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 banana mashed
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup

For Date Syrup:

  • 3/4 cup Medjool dates soft or softened and pitted
  • 3 Tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup pecans chopped
  • mini chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine all pancake ingredients and process until just blended, pour into a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto the hot pan to form pancakes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Keep the pancakes hot in a preheated oven at "warm" (appr. 110 degrees)
  • To make the topping, combine the dates, almond butter, vanilla, salt, and water in a blender until smooth. Add more water if needed to get to a creamy pourable consistency. Stir in coconut and walnuts.
  • Serve the pancakes drizzled with the date syrup.

Notes

*Note: If you do not have a non-stick pan, and don't mind these not being oil free, go ahead and use a little coconut oil when cooking them to prevent sticking.
