Chocolate Spinach Pancakes

these look awesome! I would totally make them but I don’t have the amazing grass stuff or protein powder

These look amazing! I made carrot cake pancakes this weekend! Here is the link:

I’m bouncing in my seat right now!! This looks soooooooooooooooo amazing. You’re such a genius. When are you coming to cook for me?
I have no desire to make my own pancakes now! I just want yours 🙂

OMG, you come up with so many fabulous ideas I am speechless. Plus, I think I have finally met someone who gives my love/obsession/addiction to chocolate a run for its money!!!

Katie, I am so trying these tomorrow for breakfast and I have the perfect addition hiding in my fridge 🙂

So I’m just curious, why don’t you use a leavening agent..they look kind of flat.

J,
LOL I like flat pancakes! They remind me of crepes, which I’ve always liked better than doughy pancakes. But I guess you could use some baking soda… and, as I said in the recipe, use less liquid for a thicker pancake. Hope that helps!! 🙂

oh, how wonderful. I’d love to be surprised with such a great breakfast tomorrow;)

Ooooh! Inspired idea, Katie!!! I could get used to brownie batter pancakes for breakfast, as could my pancake-loving babes!

OMG I calculated it out and you are right.

I DON’T BELIEVE IT!

I came up with about 200 calories for half the recipe even calculating in a lot of chocolate chips!

Did I do it right? And is your plate only one serving, or is the plate what the entire recipe makes?

Wow this looks fantastic!!!!! I’m going to try to make these for my bf this weekend 🙂

Wow! These sound phenomenal! Given my habit of eating my tofu-banana French toast batter straight, I might just have to eat the pancake batter straight up too. Nom, nom.

Double yum. How did I not think of brownie pancakes!? If I ever get amazing grass, this will definitely be one of the first things I make with it!

I tried the Chocolate Amazing Grass powder the other day and it was gooood! I love this recipe 🙂 I did some closeup shots of my pancakes too. Eee I’m excited to share it tomorrow!!

WHAAAAAAAT I am totally going to make these because I have all the ingredients, believe it or not! I have been mixing a scoop of the choc. superfood into almond milk each morning for a lil pick me up and I always marvel at the nice chocolate flavor it has, considering it’s a veggie powder. Therefore, these pancakes must happen! Thanks, lady. 🙂

They look so yummy-licious. Never seen anything like the powder you use in it though…Is it basically powdered veg?

I’ve made another entry into the pancake bonzana, too 😀

YUM!! You are a genius!!

OMG I just found this thread…heaven on a plate. Thank you! I am also a gluten, soy, dairy, & egg avoiding person so these are right up my alley. Most pancakes contain tons of wheat flour and for the record, buckwheat has nothing to do with wheat and actually is GF, you probably knew that but just posting it for someone who sees this and wants to know 🙂

I’ve only tried the chocolate Amazing Meal and I love it! I stir it into everything

I’ve never tried Amazing anything before–would love to.

I haven’t tried any Amazing Meal products, but I’m especially interested in the chocolate powder!

I love the amazing grass chocolate powder. so freaking good.

I haven’t tried any of their products before, but those pancakes, I think I need to get the Amazing Grass Chocolate Superfood to make em!

Is this or the other brownie page the right one for the giveaway? I’ll comment both.
I would really like to try their products, I never see them anywhere!

I don’t have a blog, but I love the green superfood powder, and I love putting it in each and every smoothie I make!

lovvveee using the chocolate superfood in smoothies!

I have tried and like both the chocolate green superfood and the chocolate amazing meal – both have such impressive stats!! I tried them ‘straight up’ but would definitely like to get more to try in smoothies – and of course, to give these pancakes a try too! 🙂

those pancakes look really good – I’ve never tried amazing grass before, and I’d love the chance to try!

I’ve tried the brownie batter pancakes (so freaking good! especially if you add chocolate chips… I recommend either minis or chop up bigger ones; that way you get ooey gooey chocolately goodness in every bite!) and also I’ve made mini muffins based on the brownie batter recipe… also very yummy! I’m sure you could also do cookies this way. The muffins are particularly tasty if you put a dab of almond butter in the center prior to baking… it’s almost like a reese’s cup, but way better!

I love all their products that have Chocolate in the name! My taste buds can detect the Wheat Grass in all the others..

Thanks so much for the opportunity!

Those pancakes look delicious!

I’ve never tried any of the amazing meals products yet; i’d love to try those bars.

I’ve never tried any amazing grass products! I’ve heard so much about them though, I’m going to have to put in an order!

I’ve only tried the Original Energy Bar, and I actually loved it! It’s so fudge-y and dense (drool!)!

I haven’t tried the powders, but I really like the bars, gasp, I know, but they’re really good for some reason!

i dont have a blog so i am posting my comment about amazing grass here! i started using the product about a month and a half ago, and it has changed me i am a totally different person. I was tired everyday, my body ached and i was dealing with a sort of depression, i found angela from Oh She Glows and started making green monsters with the amazing grass. Now i am full of energy, my skin glows, i feel that i am feeding my body the nutrients it needs with each sip! I have used the Green Superfood Powder, the Berry Green Superfood and the Chocolate for special smoothies! I cannot say enough about how great these products are.

I loveeeeee the Organic Green SuperFood Energy Bars in Chocolate. Great for post-workout!

I haven’t tried these bars because they are so expensive for me right now, but I would love to!

I’ve tried to Amazing Grass Green Superfood. I just mix it with almond milk and love it as a post-workout drink.

I haven’t tried any Amazing Grass products yet but I’d absolutely love to!

I tried chocolate Amazing Grass in a smoothie a while ago, but your recipe is a lot more creative/ beautifully presented. I love the chopsticks, too.

I havent tried any of the Amazing Grass products, but I hear good things about them!

I haven’t tried their products, but have been dying to do!

yum yum yum! brownies + pancakes+ greens = a happy tummy 🙂

i haven’t tried any amazing grass products yet, but i’ve seen them on so many blogs and pass by them each week when i go to whole foods! i would love to try the chocolate green superfood and the bars, too!

I’ve only had the energy bars, but I really liked them! YUMMM!

While I haven’t tried their products yet, I’m always up for trying new ways to incorporate veggies AND chocolate into the same meal!

I’ve tried the amazing meal original, chocolate and mango infusion and my favorite is definitely the mango. I’ve also had the green superfood energy bars (very good too!) However, because I live in Vancouver Canada, I rarely get to try them. My boyfriend went to Seattle twice this year and bought them for me! Even those new Larabar flavours 🙂 It would be great to try more of their products!

Thanks!

Gloria

i haven’t tried any amazing grass products and haven’t seen them in the stores at all. however, their products sound pretty good and i’d love to give them a try when i next have the chance!

Oooh, I haven’t tried any of their products but would LOVE to! Anything chocolate is yummy!

I would love to try their products they look amazing!!

Never tried them but I have read about them through the blogsphere!

I’ve never tried Amazing Grass products, but they surely look deliciuos 😉 thank you for this opportunity 🙂

I’ve never tried anything by Amazing Grass as can’t find it where I am, but I’d love to! Particularly one of the green superfood bars!

I’ve actually tried the Original bar and I like it, so I’m sure the chocolate would be even better!
🙂

I’ve never tried any of the Amazing Grass products, but I’d love to try some in this recipe!

I have not tried any of the amazing grass products, but I hear great things! I would love to be able to try them out!

I have not tried any Amazing Grass products, but definitely plan to try them soon.

I have never tried any of the amazing grass products but I’m planning to try them soon!

Finally made these…used Jay Robb. Just finished eating them. I LOVE YOU!!!! 🙂

I made your pancakes today. They were just as amazing as you said! So chocolatey, and you couldn’t taste the amazing grass at all! You rock, CCV!!!!

I just made these tonight for my breakfast AND lunch tomorrow! They are delishhhhh. Weird thing, though, is that I doubled the recipe and it only made 6 pancakes! They were the size of my palm, and really dense… That must have been the deal. I did use a different kind of flour than you (it was Hodgson Mill Insta-Pancake mix). Oh well, I’m perfectly happy with them!

Ok, I made these even more healthy, chocolatey and amazing!!! Allergy free!

1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1 scoop vega smoothie poweder (more protien, more veggies)
chocolate amazing grass powder (of course!!)
1/2 tsp maca powder
1/2 tbsp coco powder
some stevia (or sweetener of choice)
1/4 tsp salt or less
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1/2 tsp baking powder (I do not measure)
Chocolate of your choice (sprinkled throughout pancakes, I use DARK Theo chocolate, or even Mint chocoalte, which is amazing)

Cook like normal, mix all together, let set for just a moment, and cook up. They are so very chocolately, have veggies, fruit and about 18 grams of protien! They are amazing! enjoy with milk. THANKS katie, I LOVE your recipes, and ideas!!!!

I just made these to take as a snack to work! I tasted the batter and… yummmmm 🙂 I didn’t have chocolate chips so I used blueberry craisins. I also added cinnamon and vanilla. I guess they will be berry brownie batter pancakes!

I just made these for the first time!!! http://lizlivingvegan.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/brownies-for-breakfast/ They were SO good!

Made these pancakes today too! No buckwheat flour so used coconut flour. No magic Amazing grass green stuff, so subbed 1/2 scoop chocolate protien powder and 1 TBSP cocoa. Once again, yum! I may just work my way through all your recipes. Thanks for all the great ideas!

These look delicious! I recently purchased amazing grass and while its good, I haven’t found a recipe that screams YESSS that includes it… until now 🙂 I’m definitely going to play around with this this weekend. Thanks so much Katie!

What if you subbed actual pureed spinach for the applesauce? I dont have AG 🙂 it would be kinda the same haha

These are so perfect 😀 I love that they are naturally gluten free… thanks Katie, I’ll have to try this soon!

Why applesauce instead of oil in this recipe?

Hey if I don’t have the 3 packages (the 8-gram packets) Amazing Grass Chocolate Green SuperFood.how much of unsweetened cocoa powder do you recommend me to replace with? 🙂

Love this! I have been drinking the Amazing Greens chocolate powder, and this is a brilliant idea for pancakes! I also have the berry flavor, and thinking that could be a good addition to berry pancakes!
