Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 cups chocolate soymilk
- 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup carob chips
Preparation
Sift flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into mixing bowl. Whisk in chocolate soymilk and oil until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract. Let batter sit 5 minutes before cooking.
Spray large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. When hot, ladle on 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Sprinkle pancakes with several carob chips.
