Orange Chocolate Chip Pancakes

March 7, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

This weekend I made the most tasty pancakes using freshly squeezed oranges.  The flavor of these pancakes are unbelievable.  There sweet and the chocolate chips in them just add a little bit more to them.  I was pleasantly surprised on how well they turned out.  Check out my dramatic photo of them.

My neighbor dropped off a bunch of oranges and lemons for me, and I thought I would make him my lemon bread with the lemons he gave me and I also made some orange bread too.  I’ll post the recipe for the orange bread later this week.  These oranges are the best oranges I ever had.  I have been going orange crazy with them.  I have been putting them in everything.  Every time we finish up some oranges, I’ll go outside and there will be a bag of more oranges.  I love these little surprises, so you don’t be surprised, when I post a bunch of orange recipes.  That’s one thing I love about living in California, fresh citrus in the winter!

Only a few chocolate chips are needed in this recipe because the oranges are so sweet!


On these pancakes, I used plain, fat free greek yogurt because I really wanted the fresh orange taste.  But I bet orange yogurt would be wonderful in this recipe if you don’t have oranges.

I have to tell you, I really need to invest in a griddle.  I have such a hard time flipping them in a skillet.  Can you believe with all the pancakes I’ve made, I use a skillet.  I just haven’t found a pan that I really like.  I’m thinking of searching on amazon for one.  I find the best kitchen utensils, pans ect… on there.  I would love one of those double burner ones, but if I got one, I wouldn’t know where to store it.  Do you have trouble storing all your kitchen goodies?  I really, really would love a kitchen makeover.  I’ve been asking for one, well over a year, but no such luck.  The kitchen I would want would probably cost me a tiny fortune, but hey if your going to do it, you should do it right!  I guess that’s why I haven’t done it yet.

I also made a wonderful orange syrup to go on top of the pancakes.  I used 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange and 1/4 cup of sugar-free maple syrup.  Wow, the syrup was amazing. Perfectly sweet with a hint of orange.  They were a perfect match for these pancakes.  If you’re an orange fan, you have to try these pancakes.  I made a double batch of them and took them to work this week.  They are a perfect breakfast.  Just heat in the microwave for 25 – 30 seconds and you have a wonderful breakfast.  Oh, back to the syrup, it’s really good in oatmeal too!!!  I thought I should point that one out!

All I did for the syrup was warm it up in a Pyrex measuring cup for about 30 seconds.  You gotta love the microwave.  These pancakes are light, fluffy and sweet, but only sweetened by the oranges.  Now that what I call Mother Natures perfect sweetener!

Orange Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt

2 egg Whites

1/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed

1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp. orange extract

1/2 cup. White Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Sugar

1 dash salt

2 tsp. orange zest

3/4 tbsp. mini chocolate chips

Syrup:

1/4 Cup Orange Juice, freshly Squeezed (juice of half an orange)

1/4 cup maple syrup ( I used sugar-free)

Directions:

Mix greek yogurt, egg whites, orange juice & extracts into a small bowl

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, sugar, orange zest and salt

Combine and whisk till evenly mixed, don’t over mix

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place 1/4-cup batter onto skillet. Drop a few mini chocolate chips onto pancakes and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake and then flip. About 1-2 minutes on each side.

NOTE: Cook on medium heat and I spray cooking spray between each batch. To keep pancakes warm, heat oven to 200 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and when your pancakes are done place on baking sheet. Do not stack them.

For Orange Syrup:
Add orange juice and maple syrup in a microwavable small bowl and stir together and heat for about 10 seconds stir and heat until warmed.

Makes 7 pancakes, serving size 2

Calories per serving (3 1/2 pancakes):  216,  Fat:  2.2,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  307,  Potassium:  267,  Carbs:  40,  Fiber:  4.3,  Sugar:  15,  Protein:  13

Guess what this Sunday is?  Daylight savings time!   We get to move the clocks ahead 1 hour.  Yah!  That means we get an extra hour of daylight!  That came quick this year.  I love that it won’t get dark until after 6.  This means summer is getting closer!  I can’t really complain about winter, it was pretty mild here, not much rain and not bitter cold like it has been the past couple of years, but I am ready for summer, aren’t you?

I hope you like this weeks pancake recipe!  This was a wonderful one, I’m half tempted to make them for dinner tonight.  I love these pancakes.  I thought they would be ok, but I never imagined how wonderful and fresh they tasted.  If you have oranges, make these pancakes this weekend.  Un-freaking believable!  Way better than I ever imagined!!

Ok, here’s the part where I ask you for your vote.  As some of you may know, I was nominated for Best Healthy Eating Blog by Fitness Magazine, and I would so love your vote!  However I am thrilled and honored to be just nominated.  I still don’t know who nominated me, but thank you so much, you made my day and I am truly happy that you think my blog is worthy of such a nomination.  If you would like to vote for Peanut Butter and Peppers, please go here.  Thank you!!

Have a wonderful day!!!

    Hi,

    Wow these pancakes looks great! I’m a big fan of the combination of chocolate and orange together. I work for Kamut international. I bet this recipe would be equally as tasty if made with Kamut wheat flour.

    Thanks for sharing!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
