Whole-Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes With Chocolate Peanut Butter

Submitted by dulce_amore

"This recipe is perfect for when you want a few pancakes without all the leftovers. To pack even more chocolaty goodness in every bite, I use a combination of mini chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chunks, and dark chocolate chips-- use any combonation of chocolate you desire! The pancakes are delicious with or without the spread-- I've also had them with Brown Sugar Syrup-- also delicious! Recipe can easily be doubled."
