Happy Saturday everyone!
I’m on my summer break at the moment and to be honest, I kinda lost track of time. I don’t even know what day it is because every day is pretty much the same and I can do whatever I really want. That’s why I have a lot of time to create different recipes and share them with you.This morning I decided to make some pancakes. Chocolate, of course.
This time I switched things up a bit and substituted some of the oat flour with buckwheat one. Since we are using the combination of both flours the flavor doesn’t change much if you compare it to basic oat pancakes. If you were to use buckwheat flour only, you definitely would notice a significant difference. Buckwheat flour has almost nut-like taste and it’s slightly bitter. But as I said, you won’t really notice that in these pancakes since we are using the mix of two flours.These were the first apricots I had this year. I’m so happy the apricot and peach season is here again. I love both of them so much! They are so juicy, sweet and refreshing. I simply can’t get enough of them!
What is that cereal doing on top of my pancakes, you might be wondering. Well yes, I actually put cereal on top of my pancakes. You would be surprised how well it goes with them. I cut the cereal into smaller pieces and you can see there’s a nougat cream inside of them. This is one of the best (if not even the best) cereal I’ve had in my life. And yes, it is vegan of course.
I also used the Nutella I shared with you yesterday on my pancakes. It was W O W. Seriously, you HAVE TO try it! It went perfectly with my chocolate flavored pancakes and the nougat cereal. You might think apricots wouldn’t really go well with all this hazelnut stuff but it does! Try it yourself and see what you think of it!
I didn’t take step by step photos for this recipe because I was kinda in a rush while making them but I have a few other pancake recipes on my blog with similar instruction, so you can check that out, I linked them at the end of this post ;)
