More breakfast food! I realize that I’ve been posting a ton of breakfast recipes lately, but now that I’m on the big-kid-breakfast-band-wagon I can’t help myself.  I just keep thinking of things that would be delicious in the morning…and this is what happens.  Chocolate + strawberries = awesomeness.  Not quite as good as chocolate + peanut butter though (obvi).

Look at that chocolatey goodness! And you can have it all…guilt free.  Lots of protein and fiber, low fiber and sugar.  The diced strawberries inside the pancakes were awesome, they added just the right touch of sweetness and juiciness to the pancakes.  They might be even better mashed, so give that a shot if you’re into it.  If you’re not too concerned about adding a few more calories, throw some mini-chocolate chips in the batter too!

I actually dipped my pancake bites into a little bit of maple syrup, since I needed to clean the measuring cup that I made the chocolate sauce in and all.  It was delightful 🙂 I gotta fuel up so I can go work the soreness out of my hamstrings after yesterdays workout.

I only made half of the chocolate sauce for this that I put in the recipe…1 tbsp of cocoa with 1 tbsp of water wasn’t quite enough so I doubled it in the recipe.  Next time I’ll get extra saucy and stick it in between the pancakes.  Yum!
