Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Image
This chocolate chip pancakes recipe is your go-to for delicious mornings! They come out golden and fluffy with a subtle tangy flavor from buttermilk, making them the perfect canvas for pops of rich chocolate. Why we love this recipe When it comes to special breakfasts, pancakes are at the top of our list. So here’s a fun celebratory morning treat: chocolate chip pancakes! This is the stuff birthdays are made of (just add sprinkles!), or a fun morning with extended family in town. Our secret to the best ever pancakes? Buttermilk. Alex and I have found that this magical substance really does make a difference, giving a lift to the fluffy texture and a slight tang to the flavor. Add a few pops of rich chocolate, and it’s the perfect Saturday or Sunday morning treat. Of course, our kids are over the moon for these (though on a regular basis we prefer these banana oatmeal pancakes !).

Date Snickers

Image
This date snickers recipe is a delicious, homemade no bake treat made simply from Medjool dates, peanut butter, and chocolate! They’re great to keep on hand for snacking all week long, and fit many diets (gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan). Why we love this recipe Snickers made with…dates? When Alex and I started this website years ago, we went through phase where all our desserts had the “magic” ingredient of Medjool dates (remember raw brownies ?). We turned our attention away for a while—but now we’ve found out new favorite way to use it. Turns out, stuffing caramel-flavored Medjool dates with peanut butter and coating them in dark chocolate is a fun alternative to that popular candy. And in our opinion, it tastes much better than the real thing! The chewy texture of the dates is nougat-like, and combined with PB and chocolate: what could be better? These treats are a huge hit in our family, and they’re a fun way to make a homemade healthy-ish treat. Featured reader com
