TGIF! Here’s my new favorite combination that I’ve been enjoying in the morning. It’s everything you like about pancakes, but with less clean up and in a bowl…! So thick and fluffy, but not too dense. Such a great staple to give a try. I love having berries in the morning, and with the addition of chocolate and maybe a few walnuts, you really can’t go wrong. This Baked Berry and Chocolate Chip Pancake Bowl is perfect for your weekend activities, or super easy to whip together during the week. Always gluten free, easily vegan if you opt for vegan chocolate chips, and seriously addicting. This pancake bowl can do no wrong!
Baked Berry and Chocolate Chip Pancake Bowl
If you're someone who absolutely loves pancakes but dreads the clean up, then this was made for you. This baked pancake bowl is highly customizable and delicious. I love to make these for Ella and hope that she keeps most of the pancake inside the bowl, rather than all over the floor (usually it works, otherwise Rainbow is the clean up crew). Loaded with fresh or frozen berries, a hefty handful of mini chocolate chips, maybe a few nuts or so, and you're in business. Drizzle with a healthy amount of pure maple syrup and you'll be one happy camper.

- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup water to thin (slowly add liquid to mixture to watch for the right consistency - you want it to be super thick)
