Using tiny bits of something indulgent like chocolate once in a while is a sneaky way to jazz up a really healthy dish.
In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients together. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
Coat skillet or griddle with nonstick spray. Pour 1.3 cup batter per pancake onto skillet.
Cook on medium-high heat until pancake develops bubbles on top. Flip the pancake and brown on the other side.
Eating healthy is not an all-or-nothing activity. Make the majority of your food choices great. If 90 percent of your meals are full of lean protein, produce, lean dairy, and whole grains, indulging in less than nutritious choices 10 percent of the time won't hurt you so much.
