Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Pancakes with Greek Yogurt

Since it's the weekend, it's typical I would come up with some type of pancake recipe. Since I had a banana, I knew the pancakes had to be banana of sorts. I decided they had to be chocolate of course as well, because well, as long as it's healthified, what's wrong with having chocolate for breakfast? And since I'm obsessed with Greek yogurt as of late, making them healthy was no problem. I couldn't find a recipe of exactly what I wanted. So I made it up, and the outcome was simply bliss. I must warn you though, if you don't like meaty pancakes, you won't enjoy these.


I don't ever really measure, but essentially, here's what I did:
1 cup of whole wheat flour (though next time I'd use less)
2 tbsp. cocoa powder (I recommend special dark - though being that my sister works at Mars, I can't condone Hershey's without a guilty conscience - you, on the other hand, feel free to use it.
1 egg
About 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, I used my current obsession: Fage Greek yogurt
1 tsp. baking powder
About a tbsp. of almond milk
1 large banana, mashed
Optional: peanut butter for spreading on top (not optional for me)

With the yogurt and almond milk, I really just used enough to make sure it was in dough form and that the dry ingredients were no longer dry. And voila you have pancakes with the two greatest ingredients (chocolate and peanut butter, obviously).
