Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Pancakes

Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients
1 & 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup wheat germ
1 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
5 & 1/3 Tbsp. applesauce (or butter)
2 & 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. cocoa

Directions
Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Start mixing in applesauce (or butter) until mixture becomes a sandy texture.
Make a well in the mixture and pour the milk and eggs into the middle. 
Stir to combine. Add cocoa and chocolate chips.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray.
Ladle spoonfuls of mixture onto pan and flip when bubble appear.
(The first few pancakes will take a bit longer to cook, but as the pan really gets hot, they will cook quickly.) Enjoy!
A few variations I enjoy are spreading peanut butter on them and drizzling with chocolate syrup. I like them with bosenberry and regular syrup and recently I tried them with honey and I really enjoyed that as well. I like to group them in 2 and put them in sandwich baggies and freeze them. When I want to eat them again, I pop them in the toaster for a couple of minutes.
