Chocolate-Coconut Pancakes + a GIVEAWAY!

Hey guys! Apparently, I need chocolate in my life. Its a staple. I even eat it for breakfast. The two best things combined besides chocolate and peanut butter has to be chocolate and coconut! Today is Sunday and its the one day of the week I really get out of "my box." per say. I hate the word "diet" because I honestly believe healthy eating should be your lifestyle. On Sunday's I tend to eat a little more, not necessarily unhealthy foods, just more quantity of the good stuff ;) along with tasty treats and yummy breakfast..like pancakes.. Chocolate-Coconut Pancakes!

While we were in Hawaii (p.s sorry about the hiatus of recap post of our Hawaii trip, there comin' back..) We stopped by a local farmers market and I was able to browse through locally made and produced food. Its where we picked up that gross guava.. but all week I have been dying to whip up this coconut syrup!

I was able to meet the sweet lady that made this heaven in a bag! Barbara Oki

You can use it for smoothies, pies, curry, pudding, pancakes! Honestly, this would be fabulous on top of anything! Its all natural and homemade. Barbara Oki designed this coconut powder to perfection and as I was talking with her she is very proud and you can really tell how much work and love she puts into it.

I was craving chocolate this morning and I figured this coconut syrup would go perfect with some pancakes.

Chocolate-Coconut Pancakes 

1/2 C. Coconut flour
2 1/4 C. Almond milk vanilla unsweetened
2 scoops Chocolate Elite protein
1 Tbs Cocoa powder
1/3 C. Agave nectar
1 egg
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp baking powder
Unsweetened shredded coconut for garnish

yields about 10 pancakes

Directions:

Throw all the ingredients into your blender (except the shredded coconut)
Blend until smooth.
Pour onto hot griddle (I was lazy and just used a skillet pan cause its easier to clean.)

Bubbles will form, when they start to pop, flip the pancake over and cook for about a minute or so.

Easy!
