• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 12 pancakes
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1⁄2 cup white flour
• 1⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients of the batter: flours, cocoa, sugar, flax seeds, baking powder and salt.
2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, egg white,oil, and vanilla.
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir just until mixed. *Do not overmix.*.
4. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
5. Coat a griddle with a liberal coating of oil spray to prevent sticking. Preheat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on the hot pan.
6. Pour 1/4 c batter for each pancake, and cook until bubbly in the middle. Flip gently and cook for another minute until cooked through.
7. *Coat the skillet with oil after each batch so the pancakes don't stick.*.
