What's better than chocolate mint?
You might not know this about me, but I love the chocolate mint combination. I have often been annoyed by the Netherlands and its apparent hate for the taste. I don't understand why it's not popular here. I've been to Scotland, where they even had chocolate mint ice cream for Cornetto and Magnum! Something I can only dream about here.
Anyway, you might remember my chocolate mint cake. It's still one of my favorite creations so far. I also tried to make a chocolate mint truffle, which worked out quite nicely aswell, but I don't think I shared the recipe yet. A little while ago, I ran into this recipe and I very much wanted to try it for myself.
Chocolate mint pancakes? Sounds a bit weird, but hey, can't hurt to try! I didn't change the ingredients, though I did wing it with the amount of extract. They turned out quite nice, but I don't think I'll make them again. The first two taste really good, but after that, I feel quite full and I'm the only one here who would even think about eating them, so I ate the last part reluctantly. There are better ways to make a lunch for one.
It's still a nice thing to try and if you're making lunch for a couple of chocolate mint lovers, this could be a nice addition. I wouldn't make it your main course though.
Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 Tsp peppermint extract
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Mash the banana and then add the other ingredients. Stir until well combined.
- Heat up some oil in a skillet and bake the pancake on both sides, until brown and pancakey.
Enjoy!

That's a great extension on a recipe I posted the other day. I was totally shocked when my Mum said I could make pancakes out of just banana and eggs. Commenters on my post suggested adding almond butter or walnuts.
Also I totally get the loving Choc-Mint thing. If you ever come back over to the UK you must try a mint Feast, my favourite ice cream of all time :D

Oooh that looks delicious! I will keep that in mind if I ever return :D
Yes, I made pancakes with banana and eggs aswell a little while ago. It's such an unbelievably easy lunch! To fill myself up some more, I sometimes add oats to it. And ofcourse, sprinkle it with honey :-)
