Method
In a medium bowl, add the corn flour, cacao, coconut oil and honey.
Add the boiling water and quickly whisk together until combined. Leave for 5 minutes for the corn flour to soften.
Add the medium egg and whisk to combine.
Add the step 3 ingredients and whisk to combined.
Add the Barebells Chocolate Milkshake and whisk to combine. You should have a medium thickness batter. Add more milkshake if too thick or more ground almonds if too thin.
Heat a non stick frying pan on a low/medium heat. Add a little coconut oil (or frying oil of choice).
Dollop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan, it should spread to a circle, you shouldn’t need to move it about or tilt the pan.
Fry until bubbles start to appear on top, then carefully flip and fry for a further 30-60 seconds on the other side.
Repeat until all the batter has been used up. This should make 4-5 fluffy pancakes.
Add your toppings of choice and enjoy!
