Holy Carbs + {CHO Chocolate PB2 Banana Pancakes}

Posted: May 16, 2012

Evidently since finishing my Reboot, five days of juicing, and hitting my initial goal, my body has been craving carbs.  I mean a LOT of them.  Holy carbs, batman!! I've made breads, muffins, and pancakes like I'll never be able to eat them again in my whole life!!  At least I load them up with Chobani yogurt, my newfound love. The bad news is, this comforting carb baking loading can't be good for my diet (weight loss).  The good news is, they're all so delicious and you are getting some really good easy recipes back to back to back!  So for now, please enjoy this newest recipe added to my Chobani Greek Yogurt baking repertoire.

Introducing CHO Chocolate PB2 Banana Pancakes:

First gather your ingredients.  How could these NOT be amazing, with those ingredients?!?

Put into a mixing bowl.

Cook over low heat to brown evenly perfectly:

Top with sliced bananas and drizzle more chocolate PB2 (a bit runnier than normal made with more water) over the top... and VOILA!  Beautiful, mouth-watering protein-packed pancakes:

And I'm experimenting with a few other photography styles - one being a shot "from above"  Yep, still looks yummy...even from above!

Check out my other carb/yogurt creations:

PS.  Some people have never heard of PB2 - it's basically a powdered peanut butter, with most of the oils (fat!!) removed. It's 85% lower in fat content and calories.  What's not to love about that??? Here's a pic:

The awesome people at Bell Plantation foods send me some samples to try awhile back, and upon first bite, I was hooked!!  I've since ordered it a couple of times!!!  You can buy it direct from their website, or you can also sometimes find it on Amazon (a bit cheaper).

PPS. I usually make all the pancakes and freeze any we don't eat, wrapped individually in foil.  They are perfect to eat throughout the week for an easy healthy breakfast.  Just microwave for 40 seconds!

Get ready for some real yumminess!!!

You definitely need to try it!! It is soooooooooo good!! And so much healthier than full fat nut butters. I love the chocolate PB2 with a banana for a snack, or the plain PB2 on strawberry banana muffins :)

I doubt you'd need 2 full Tbsp of drizzle. AND, I only ever eat one pancake at a time. By the time I add 3/4 of a banana on top, just one is plenty filling. You can see from the picture, but it's about the size of one small salad plate... so not too shabby. Dear hubby eats 2 at a time though.

Is the banana in the ingredients go into the pancakes or is that for the topping?

Submitted by kelly - May 17, 2012 - 4:27pm

I only had one banana. So I must've put 1/2 IN the pancakes, and then 1/2 on top of mine. I should notate that in the instructions.

I purchased my PB2 at Walmart! Glad to know that the cocoa version is good, they have both!

Submitted by kelly - July 25, 2012 - 4:08pm

I often shop at Walmart, b/c there's one so close to my house. Did you find it with the regular peanut butter? That would be so awesome if I could buy it there instead of having to order it online and WAIT :)
