Chocolate Craving Anyone?

Pin It

Ever since I've moved back to Winona I've had this huge craving for chocolate and of course being the poor college student that I am I have nothing but chocolate chips.  Not going to cut it. What is a girl to do??  

After a little brainstorming and little experimenting I came up with a nutritious-n-delicious recipe that any college student could afford. Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes. Yum.

My first baking adventure in my new house was a success!  I even got to use my new giraffe pan and giraffe whisk.  Thanks Mom! :P I will definitely be making these pancakes again.

Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes

2 tsp Vanilla extract

2/3 cup cooked lentils

Semi-sweet chocolate chips

 Directions

1. Grind the oats in a blender/food processor/ninja (this is the name my roommates gave my Wal-mart brand magic bullet).

2. Add remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and blend well.

3. Heat a pan over medium heat.

4. Spray pan with cooking spray and pour in 1/3 cup batter and sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top.
