Recipe Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Replace chocolate spread with a nut butter or sugar free peanut butter. Not only is it equally delicious but it is more nutritious and naturally sweet instead of being laden down with sugar.
- Put a large dollop of yogurt on your pancake and top with raspberries, blueberries or strawberries
- Place some mandarins along the middle of your pancake and roll. Make sure the mandarins are juicy!
- Something simple… A little drizzle of lemon juice
