Soft, fluffy, and irresistibly delicious, these chocolate peanut butter pancakes taste like Snickers. But good for you, with this healthy Snickers Pancakes recipe!
Ingredients for snickers pancakes
Besides being so healthy and delicious, these Snickers pancakes are also incredibly simple. This recipe requires just a handful of wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. And in case something is still missing, keep on reading.
Here is everything you need to make these chocolate peanut butter pancakes, including more details and all the substitutes.
Banana: this ingredient will make your Snickers pancakes sweet and soft. For the best result, I recommend mashing half of a ripe banana. As an alternative you can also use 3 tablespoons of applesauce or yogurt.
Egg: necessary for soft and fluffy pancakes, if you are vegan replace the egg with one flaxseed egg.
Oat flour: use store-bought or homemade oat flour, gluten-free if it is necessary.You can also replace it with spelt flour, Teff flour or all purposes flour.
Cocoa powder: for healthier Snickers pancakes, this recipe uses 100% cocoa powder, free from added sugars.
Peanut butter: paired with chocolate, this ingredient gives the pancakes their unique Snickers taste. Feel free to use unsalted or salted peanut butter. But keep in mind that if you go for salted peanut butter, you should not add additional salt later on.
The peanut butter can indeed be replaced with any nut butter of your choice – such as almond or cashew butter – but the result won’t be the same.
Maple syrup: as it is healthier and as I like its taste, whenever I make pancakes I always use maple syrup. As an alternative, you can opt for honey, agave syrup, date syrup, coconut sugar or any granular sweetener of your choice. Also calorie-free sweeteners, such as erythritol, work great.
Milk of choice: you can prepare these healthy Snickers pancakes with ether dairy-free or dairy milk. My favorite options are soy milk, pea milk and oat milk!
Additional ingredients: baking powder, a pinch of salt, chocolate chips, peanuts.
Snickers pancake topping
These are not average chocolate peanut butter pancakes. From A to Z, these are Snickers pancakes – healthy Snickers pancakes! That’s why they come with a low calorie chocolate topping, made of just 3 ingredients:
- Cocoa powder
- Granular sweetener
- Milk of choice
All you have to do is mixing the ingredients together, playing around with the quantity of milk until you get a smooth cream. Once it is ready, drizzle your pancakes with the chocolate topping and more peanut butter if you desire.
How to make oat flour at home
Making oat flour at home is very quick and simple. All you need to do is adding rolled oats to a high speed blender and process until the oats have become flour. Depending on the power of your blender, this process may require a couple of minutes. The result should be a finely grounded powder, just like flour!
How to make healthy Snickers pancakes
Start by mashing the banana in a bowl. Once it is mashed, add the maple syrup, peanut butter and a pinch of salt to the banana. Stir well, until all ingredients are combined into a smooth mixture.
Sift into the mixture the oat flour, the cocoa powder and then baking powder, then start mixing while gradually adding the milk. Begin with 50 ml (3 tbsp) and, if it is necessary, add as much as 80 ml (1/3 cup) of milk, until the pancake batter is smooth. As the amount of milk depends on the size of the egg and of the banana, you may need to adapt to your needs. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and the crushed peanuts.
Pour one scoop of pancakes batter into a hot and greased pan. Cook your pancakes over medium heat until the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then flip with a spatula and cook until golden.
For the healthy topping, in a small bowl stir together the cocoa powder with sweetener of choice (to taste) and the milk to consistency. Begin with 2 teaspoons, and add more if it is necessary. The result should be a smooth cream, which is neither too liquid nor too thick. Drizzle the chocolate cream over your pancakes, with more peanut butter if you desire.
