Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Here's my healthy, nondairy version of chocolate chip pancakes. When you use coconut oil, you won't miss the dairy ingredients one bit. Our favorite coconut oil is Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and I have found the lowest prices for this product on Amazon.

I also add ground flax for the health benefits. We add 1 tablespoon of ground flax to this recipe which is very noticeable and makes for a hearty pancake. Begin by adding 1 teaspoon and work up from there if you are unsure.


Since I make this recipe often, I make up the dry mix and store it in the refrigerator.

1 cup flour
3 tablespoon sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground flax to taste (I use 1 tablespoon. I grind the flax seed in a coffee grinder)

1 egg, scrambled
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons coconut oil

1/4 cup chocolate chips

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground flax.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add water and coconut oil.

Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until batter is moistened. Stir in chocolate chips and combine.

Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto heated skilled and cook until lightly brown on both sides.
