This past week, we got a bunch of snow and ice. So, to fill up the boyfriend for shoveling purposes, I decided to make these Vegan Pancakes extra special! 

Vegan Dark Chocolate Pistachio Pancakes 

Ingredients:

• 1 c flour 
• 3 tbsp sugar 
• 2 1/4 tsp baking powder 
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 2 1/2 tbsp smart balance ‘butter’
• 1 c water 
• 1 tbsp ground flax meal + 3 tbsp water 
• 1/4 c vegan dark chocolate and 1/4 c pistachios chopped up 

Directions:

1. Mix flax meal and 3 tbsp water together and sit for 5 mins
2. Warm ‘butter’ in microwave 
3. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and make a well
4. Mix ‘butter’, water and flax meal mixture together then add in the well. Stir but just until combined. Don’t over mix, it’s ok to be lumpy. 
5. Pour batter and sprinkle with chocolate nut mixture and Cook in a well greased frying pan.
6. Enjoy!
