Y'all! We made it to Friday, and I couldn't be happier!
The weather is nice. The house is clean. Work has been all caught up on.
But most important, weekends are for taking things a bit slower than the normal every day.
Coffee gets sipped from a big ole mug instead of a to-go tumbler.
Bubble baths get taken instead of a quick shower.
Books get read for leisure.
Longer walks get taken with the dog.
Family games get played and laughed over.
Cuddles on the couch.
Window shopping.
And baking... baking all the things!
Weekends are for sleeping in.
Weekends are for breakfast together as a family... even though our Sunday breakfast usually doesn't happen until like noon... seriously, we do weekends SLOWLY!
But we're always sure to enjoy each and every bit of it... and each BITE!
I mean, really, is there anything better than a chocolate chip pancake topped with a bit of butter and a drizzling of syrup?
Chocolate chip pancakes make you go to your childhood. All you really need at this point is a little whipped cream and banana slices to turn it into a funny face stack, right?
That's the best part about these pancakes. They're nummy enough to please your kiddos, but they're healthy enough to please mom's tastebuds and health desires.
Whole wheat. Dairy free with the help of my favorite Enjoy Life chocolate chips. Egg free.
But NOT flavor free by any means!
Get your weekend on with a stack of these Dairy-Free Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes.

Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup oat flour (1 cup old-fashioned oats blended to a powder)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cup almond milk (or your milk of choice)
- ½ cup plain dairy-free yogurt
- 4 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the whole wheat pastry flour, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Pour the milk, yogurt, oil, and vanilla in a separate small bowl and whisk until completely combined. Pour liquid mixture into the dry mix and stir with a fork until just mixed and no more flour is seen. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non stick griddle over medium heat. Place a small amount of butter on the pan and coat the cooking surface. Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter 2 inches apart onto the skillet.
- Cook until the edges are set and air bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until the underside is golden.

Chocolate chip pancakes were my favorite growing up- and I still love them! These look super dense!
