Chocolate Pancakes

April 11, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Half way through the week already.  I can’t understand how the days go so fast, yet the work hours go so slow.  I am such a clock watcher, it’s a horrible habit.  Even when I’m having fun, I watch the clock, knowing that my fun time will be over soon.  That is so strange, why do I do that?  Right now I am waiting for the weekend because it’s suppose to be nice out and I get to make a new breakfast creation.  Ohhh, what should it be?  This past Saturday I made one of my best chocolaty pancakes ever!!

These pancakes were like eating a piece of chocolate cake for breakfast, but the only difference is, that these are healthy!  Yup, healthy!!  Actually I was thinking of making them again and freezing them and having them for dessert topped with just a smidge of ice cream and maybe some berries.  Sounds weird doesn’t it?  If you make them, you’ll understand.


I made these bad boys with unsweetened cocoa powder, greek yogurt and whole wheat pastry flour and some other good things.  When I figured out the calories I couldn’t believe my eyes.  These are the lowest calorie pancakes I have made yet!  Are you sitting down?  You better be because when you find out there 138 calories for THREE of them you may fall over, I almost did, but realized I need to eat them, can’t waste my time laying on the kitchen floor!

To add a little color to the pancakes, I added a few egg-shaped sprinkles that I found in my cupboard.  Doesn’t it make them look all festive?  There shape looks like the chocolate covered sunflower seeds that I buy from TJ’s.  I just think there so cute!  he he  Don’t they just want to make you smile?

I was amazed of all the fun things I found and threw out this weekend.  My Easter was spent cleaning my kitchen and I mean cleaning it!  I spent 6 hours cleaning.  The stove took forever and then I started cleaning everything off, dusting plants, cleaning appliances, rearranging my cupboards and even cleaning the backside of my microwave.  My kitchen is spic and span!!  One thing I found, which actually made a lot more room is I had some old spices that I found in the back of my drawer that expired in 2007.  I didn’t realize spices had expiration dates, but they do!  So I threw a lot of them out.  All that means is I can buy more!!  Any excuse to go shopping, right?  I even moved my counter top appliance around so I can be more efficient in the kitchen.  The only problem with that is, I’m not used to it and now my kitchen echos, which I find strange.  Have you done any spring cleaning this year?  Next is my livingroom, but maybe that will be next Sunday?

What is your favorite kind of pancake?  I honestly couldn’t tell you mine?  It’s to hard to decided.  I think pancakes are one of those foods that you can create to match your mood.  This weekend, because it was Easter, I had chocolate on the brain, even though I didn’t get any!  🙁  But these pancakes for sure make up for that!!

Time for me to figure out what to make for dinner.  I am hungry!!!  Have a great day, and don’t forget to enter my Trader Joe’s Giveaway!  You can win a $25.00 gift card and a jar of Cookie Butter.

Toodles!

    What do you use to calculate your calories for recipes? I have been using My Fitness Pal, but they don’t give fiber count, and I really want that!

    These pancakes sound great. I’ll have to try them and see if I like them better than the other ones I made. I would add some chocolate protein powder to them (I’m okay with upping the calories because I should eat a minimum of 300 for a meal). I also found a recipe for a chocolate syrup that I made with Stevia, which is really nice on chocolate pancakes… 🙂

      Love the idea of using chocolate protein powder in the pancakes! I made a sugar free chocolate syrup that I love and your right chocolate syrup would be fantastic on chocolate pancakes. Oh man, now I’m craving pancakes!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
