Chocolate Chip Pancakes


Chocolate Chip pancakes seem kind of decadent and dessertlike and not too healthy, but that just doesnt have to be the case. First of all, the pancake mix I purchased states clearly on tbe box that the mix contains calcium and iron. For a special treat, occasionaly I include chocolate to the batter. The only glitch is I dont use milk or semisweet chocolate, I use dark chocolate because of all the healing amd health benifits of dark chocolate. Dark choclate has been known to lower blood preasure, and also contains flavanoids which proect against heart disease(milk and semisweet chocolate do not) Dark Chocolate also is a powerful antioxident which is instrumental in keeping bad cancer cells out of our systems. This AM I treated family to chocolate pancakes which I admit I dont do often because it takes a bit more time and we are scrambling in the am to get out the door usually, whether its school, sports or church. The pancakes got rave reviews and requests for seconds.
