Love is in the Air!

And LOVE smells like chocolate! I know it's been a while since I posted and my only excuse is that it is more difficult to get to our basement computer than I thought it would be with two toddlers running around. However, I'm using a new app (BlogPress) so I can now post from my iPhone. Sorry for the delay.

Now, back to my favorite subject...chocolate! Valentine's Day & Chocolate go hand-in-hand so I thought I'd start up my blog on a sweet note. I made a healthy version of chocolate-chip pancakes for breakfast this morning and want to share it with you. Let me know what you think of them!

Ingredients

2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds, opt
Dash of cinnamon, opt
1 1/2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 1/4 cups low-fat milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flaxseeds and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add yogurt, milk and vanilla. Stir with a whisk until batter is just smooth. (Add more milk if the batter becomes too thick). Stir in chocolate chips. Cook on heated non-stick griddle over medium heat as usual. Enjoy!!!
