Easy and Delicious Blender Pancakes with Chocolate Sauce

A simple pancake recipe for the whole family.

Who doesn't love pancakes? We love this recipe because it's simple, cost-effective and tastes as good as it feels! 

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup whole oats (we used Jo Anne's Place Bulk Oats)
  • 1 ripe banana (we love EquiFruit)
  • 3 Organic Eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • A splash (2-4 tbsps) milk or water
  • A couple drops of vanilla extract 
  • Frozen or fresh fruit, nuts, and/or coconut flakes to garnish
Chocolate Sauce
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • A splash of maple syrup
Directions:
  1. Process the oats to a flour in your blender
  2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend it up.
  3. Heat a skillet, using preferably coconut oil, and pour in a spoonful of the batter at whatever size you prefer. You'll find smaller pancakes easier to flip. Wait until bubbles start to appear on the pancake before flipping.
  4. For the chocolate sauce, add the coconut oil to a pot and heat until melted. Add in cocoa powder and maple syrup and whisk until combined.
  5. Drizzle pancakes with chocolate sauce and add your favourite toppings (we used coconut flakes and frozen fruit!). Enjoy!

Feeling the Holiday pressure? In the midst of Winter’s chill and the Holiday rush, your own well-being deserves space to breathe. The natural world around us is slowing down, so why shouldn’t we? Winter invites us to turn inward, and it is especially important to support your mental health during these longer, darker days. Did you know that we, as Canadians, are more prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder due to our northern latitude, which results in less sunlight during the winter? The Holiday season can be equal parts joyful and overwhelming. Schedules get busy, routines slip, and we're surrounded by comfort foods and sweet treats. Between gatherings, travel, and to-do lists, our well-being can take a back seat. Here are some simple tips to keep you grounded, nourished, and feeling your best throughout the season: *These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice. Please check labels for contraindications and check with your pharmacist if you are on prescription drugs. These suggestions are based on over 40 years of customer experience at Jo Anne’s Place.
