Healthy Chocolate Cherry Pancakes with Cherry Syrup

Are into the chocolate cherry combination? Then you definitely need to try these Healthy Chocolate Cherry Pancakes with Cherry Syrup, delicious and good for you! These light and fluffy Pancakes are whipped up in a blender or food processor in no time. Top them off with an easy cherry syrup that cooks while you are making the pancakes. You won’t believe how good they taste!

It is a great way to use bananas that have been laying around and are getting a little too ripe. It just makes the pancakes taste better. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the pancakes, without adding any sugar. Be sure to use gluten free oats if you want them to be gluten free and dairy free milk and butter for a dairy free version.  Since the oats will be blended, you can use old-fashioned oats or quick-cooking oats, what ever you have at home.

It is important to let the batter rest for 15 minutes, this gives a fluffier pancake that holds together better and are therefor easier to cook.

I really hope you will give thees easy and delicious Healthy Chocolate Cherry Pancakes with Cherry Syrup a try, they are a great start to the day!
