Chocolate orange pancakes for a sweet breakfast or dessert!
If you're a Terry's chocolate orange fan, then perhaps I can easily convince you to try these pancakes. They'll satisfy your sweet tooth to say the least and are another way to enjoy pancakes. I love to think of creative ways to jazz up a simple pancake recipe, sometimes simple is great and sometimes I need a little (or a lot) of chocolate, especially with orange. These pancakes are made with oat flour instead of plain, because I still wanted to have my oats in the morning and blending them into a flour is an easy way to do this. Plus the oats still give a fluffy texture and plenty of good fibre which is how I like my breakfast to be. To make sure they taste orangey enough, I've used the juice and the zest of an orange for a real contrast against the chocolate flavour. There's more orange on top for texture and the sweet citrusy fruit goes great with pancakes.

Recipe
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Serves: 8 pancakes
Notes:
- Oat flour can be replaced with plain flour if you do not want oat flour.
- To make oat flour, simply blend porridge oats in a blender - its a lot cheaper than buying it ready-made.
- The chocolate sauce I used for these pancakes is Sweet Freedom Choc Shot.
- Add chocolate protein powder instead of cocoa powder for a protein boost!

The richness of the chocolate orange pancake with the zesty brightness of orange creates a harmonious fusion that tantalizes the taste buds. The velvety cocoa infused better cooks up into fluffy pancakes while the essence of orange zest adds a refreshing citrus twist. These are one of my favorite pancakes. Whether you can enjoy it as a decent breakfast or a scrumptious dessert. My family always has pancakes on the weekend for breakfast. Pancake is also known as martabak .
