Chocolate Espresso Raspberry Pancakes

June 6, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

You know me, I like chocolate, berries and coffee, I thought hmmmm, why not throw them into one of my favorite weekend breakfast’s, pancakes!!  Yup, I did it, I made the most delicious pancakes this past weekend.   It’s light fluffy, chocolaty with a slight hint of coffee and one of my favorite berries, raspberries.

I spent my Saturday night thinking what kind of pancakes could I make?  I asked my Husband what he thought and you know what he said?  Haven’t you done it all with pancakes?  Um, hello, does he know who his wife is?  Of course I haven’t come up with every pancake imaginable!  Silly man!!  The possibilities are endless!  The key is to come up with something tasty, low calorie and something I think everyone will love!!  So after staring at my fridge looking for ingredients, I thought raspberries.  How could i not of made a pancake with raspberries?  That was just crazy!!  Than Chocolate Espresso raspberry Pancakes were born!!!


One berry I love beside blueberries and strawberries is raspberries.  They used to be my top favorite fruit.  I have bought them earlier I the year but the taste of them do not compare to them as right now.  Were just starting raspberry season now.  Did you know that raspberries have the most fiber than any other fruit?  A half cup of raspberries have 4.6 grams of fiber!  Not to shabby and there low-calorie!!! A lot of punch for a little fruit!!  So I personally recommend picking up some raspberries!

I know a lot of people do mot like raspberries because of the seeds.  I get that!  Seeds don’t bother me, but I know my Hubbie doesn’t like them because of seeds.  I like the seeds, I like the little extra crunch I get from them.  However, I have a solution for you if you don’t like the seeds.  With my pancakes I made a raspberry sauce that is seedless and so easy to make.  Even if you’re not in the mood for pancakes, which I think your crazy if your  not, you can always just make the sauce.  You can put it on oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, ice cream, french toast or more.

The sauce is made with half fresh, half frozen raspberries, though you could use all frozen, a little bit of lemon juice and some stevia.  I know I said it before but I like my fruit more on the natural side, but if you like your fruit sweet, add more sugar.  That’s whats nice about cooking you can change it up to what you will like.  Not everybody has the same taste.  I think you know that in my household considering I always have fend for yourself night or I do my Man vs. Woman blogs.  My Husband and I have totally different tastes, but I learned to adapt my cooking to meet his personal eating needs.

When taking these photos I had to go quick because my battery died on my camera.  I charged it for 5 minutes and then took as many pictures as I could, so I am sorry I could not take a picture of the inside of the pancakes.  Let me give you a little description.  If you’re looking for moist, light, cake like pancakes these are for you!  The espresso really added a wonderful rich chocolate taste and the raspberries added a wonderful sweetness, with a hint of tartness.  They were sweet enough that I didn’t need to add maple syrup to them, love that.  These pancakes exceeded my expectation!  Besides the taste, three pancakes not including the low calorie raspberry syrup, was only, ready for this?  127 calories for 3!!!  Who loves ya baby?  I love this!  You could eat all 6 and it still would be guilt-free.  You can’t go wrong with a healthy breakfast.  It also has 7 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein!  If you really wanted to up the protein in the pancakes, you could always sub chocolate protein powder for unsweetened cocoa powder.  I thought of doing that, but didn’t!

  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sugar or Stevia

  • ¾ cup raspberries
  • **For Raspberry Sauce**
  • 3 cups frozen raspberries, thawed (I used half fresh, half frozen)
  • ½ tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. Stevia or ¼ cup sugar (taste test to see how much you want to add)
Instructions
  1. In a cup, add 1 tsp of instant coffee and ½ cup hot water. Stir till coffee is dissolved and cooled. You will only need 2 tablespoons of this.
  2. In a medium bowl, add greek yogurt, egg whites, 2 Tbsp. of instant coffee mixture, vanilla extract and milk.
  3. In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, & salt
  4. Combine and whisk till evenly mixed
  5. Carefully Fold in raspberries
  6. Place ¼-cup batter onto non-stick skillet and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake and then flip.
  7. About 2 minutes on each side
  8. For Raspberry sauce:
  9. Press raspberries through a fine sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer to get rid of the seeds. Than add lemon juice and sugar. Stir till sugar is dissolved. Store left over sauce in the refrigerator. Makes ¾ cups
Notes
If you don't have time to defrost your raspberries, you can microwave them for 1 minute intervals. I did this for about two minutes.

See I told you no cherries today!  🙂  I was driving to work this morning and I got another one of my brilliant ideas for bread that I want to make.  So I am going to make a quickie dinner and hopefully have time to make bread.  I’m excited to try this recipe.  I get the best ideas for meals when I am commuting to work.  I get so excited that I can’t wait to get to work to write it down.  Where do you get your best ideas?

Well my Friends I hope you like today’s pancakes, it’s been a while since I made traditional shaped pancakes, it was fun!  Now tell me what is your favorite kind of pancake?  For me, no clue, I love them all!!!!!

    I love raspberries too! Think I will make these this weekend, I love pancakes any and all pancakes but 2-3 is all can ever eat but I do like them cold! They fill me up so fast but I wonder if the maple syrup has something to do with that? Never made a raspberry sauce do looking forward to trying that. And…um… chocolate?? Oh yes! Coffee brings out the chocolate taste so these are going to be good! Thanks for posting this, it was a great idea Jennifer! Now I can’t wait to see what kind if bread you make! Have a great day!

      I’m wondering if it is the maple syrup that fills you? However, these pancakes will fill you up too! It always surprises me how much they do. The syrup is so easy to make, and is wonderful added to other goodies. I’m so glad I made it and it is way healthier than maple syrup. The coffee really does bring out the flavor of chocolate! These pancakes you do get a hint of coffee, but not much. With the leftover coffee, I froze it and used it to make a frappe. If you try the pancakes, you must let me know what you think!!

    I bought loads of raspberries last night (Because who can pass by 5 punnets for £1 at the market?!), so I thought maybe raspberry pancakes instead of blueberry would be nice, and then I came across this recipe… Very delicious!

    I took the liberty of substituting the 2 egg whites for 1 whole egg and an extra splash of milk though, purely because I never quite know what to do with the left over yolks. (Unless is Christmas cookie time, which it’s not. ;P) They still worked out lovely.

Hello Wednesday! Let me tell you we have had some Hello Wednesday! Let me tell you we have had some strange weather here in California. It’s feeling like winter with high winds, sprinkles and cool temps. 
🍋
To add some cheer to my sliding doors to the backyard, I added my reversible porch sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I don’t see any reason why a porch sign is just for the porch? Plus I didn’t want it to get ruined outside. 
🍋
Isn’t it so cute with the raised lettering and the happy lemons. It really goes well with my decor in the living room. Plus what’s fun is when you reverse the sign it’s the patriotic flag, which is perfect for the summer holidays.
🍋
The Krumpets Home Decor porch sign is the deal if the week, plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🍋
Do you have any fun plans for the Summer?

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.

Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?
