Hi friends! Happy weekend! I’m going to spend mine studying and making some delicious food. How about you?
I’m in the middle of my exam season and the only thing getting me through is delicious food. I’m a huge stress eater and lately I’ve been trying not to do that. It has actually been going quite well. The good thing is I’ll be done with my exams in 3 weeks which means I’ll have a lot of free time to create recipes and hopefully my daily posts will come back. Until then I’ll try to post as frequently as possible but I can’t promise anything..

Let move onto today’s creation, shall we? We’re making some BERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES.

Right now, you are probably like ‘But Nina, didn’t you post a pancake recipe last week?’. Yes, I did. But those tasted COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than these do. These are way thicker and denser. I still left the chocolate chips in thought, sorry I can’t get enough of them. They add richness to these pancakes and make them taste special.

Berries and chocolate. The combination of perfection. I love adding berries to any kind of sweet food, especially now when it’s warm outside. They add freshness and make your meal feel light. I usually use frozen ones just because they are cheaper and more convenient for me.

Oh and did I mention these pancakes are veryyy thick? As you can see, my batter only made four pancakes in total. I prefer thick over thin pancakes. They are so much more satisfying to eat and I love the texture of them. They also perfectly wrap in the chocolate chips and make them nicely melted.

Recipe | Berry Chocolate Chip Oat Pancakes 🍓🍫

---

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oats (gluten free if needed)
• ½ cup water or plant-based milk (I used a mix)
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 tbsp chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ cup berries

---

Method:

1/ Blend oats into oat flour.

---

2/ Add a banana and water or plant based milk and blend until the batter is smooth.

3/ Add chia seeds and chocolate chips. Mix with a spoon. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes so it thickens (don't skip this step, it's very important if you want to get thick pancakes).

---

4/ Heat a non-stick pan. Once hot pour some pancake batter on it. Cook until you see bubbles on top of your pancake, that’s when it’s ready to flip. Cook on the other side for approximately 2 minutes. You know it’s done when it’s nicely brown on the outside. Repeat until you use all of the batter. Mine made 4 pancakes in total.

5/ Stack pancakes one on top of another and top with berries.

6/ Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed today's recipe! Have a wonderful day!
