Start your week with a cake in a pan! Yes my friends, that is a big stack of delicious banana pancakes topped with chocolate dipped strawberries, oh my!
You have seen many pancakes paired with fresh fruits and a drizzling of chocolate and various other yummy ingredients but have you had your pancakes with strawberries dipped in chocolate? That was a long sentence but well worth the zero periods. 😉
Chocolate dipped strawberries are so simple to make yet they’re so special aren’t they? Especially when you give them as a gift. So why not give this entire stack of pancakes as a gift?! Perfection for breakfast or for dessert, completely up to you, I won’t judge, hehe!
What’s also great about these banana pancakes is that I have added some extra protein into them for you, hemp seeds! I use hemp seeds from Fair Foods, the best Australia can offer! So now these pancakes have that give punch of nutrition, exactly what you’re after to begin your day I am sure. I actually sprinkled hemp seeds over the strawberries also and they stick to the chocolate and each mouthful is just so yummy. You’re going to have to try it for yourself to believe me!
In other news, if you follow me on Instagram, you would know that my website, here where you’re right now, got hacked over the weekend. So my apologies if you were trying to access any of my recipes here and none of them were showing up for you. Many tears were shed because I thought I had lost 3+ years of hard work but after many hours of thought, I fixed it issue all by myself, woohoo! All those months I worked and created this website, I had taught myself about website settings and a little bit of coding work. I touched into that knowledge (thankfully it was still there haha) and I was able to delete all of the bad malware on my site. Lesson learnt though? Get yourself some good security on your website! You don’t want all your hard work to disappear so cover yourself and make your site secure, take it from me!
I hope you enjoy this yummy stack of healthy banana hemp pancakes paired with a bunch of classic fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate, you’re welcome.
