Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites

Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites

These Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites combine the best of both worlds, the vibrant taste of raspberries and the indulgence of chocolate. They have the wonderful combination of flavors, textures, and are simply beautiful. This recipe offers a unique and indulgent treat that can be enjoyed on various occasions or any time you feel like having a treat.

The natural tartness of raspberries contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of chocolate. This balance of flavors creates a taste experience that appeals to both those who enjoy sweet treats and those who prefer something slightly tangy.

Raspberries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. While dark chocolate contains antioxidants and has been linked to potential health benefits when consumed in moderation. When combining raspberries and chia seeds, you’re creating a powerful synergy of nutrients. In addition, chia seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation in the body. The combination of these ingredients can make these Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Bites feel like a guilt-free indulgence.

Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes

Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes

Fluffy and tender Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes from scratch make the best weekend breakfast or brunch!

If you’re trying to make healthier choices for yourself or your family, then choosing whole wheat pancakes with blueberries is a way to enjoy a classic breakfast treat while still prioritizing nutritional value.

Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes are a delicious and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes. They are made using whole wheat flour, which provides more fiber and nutrients compared to refined white flour. The addition of blueberries adds natural sweetness and a burst of flavor, as well as antioxidants and vitamins.

Blueberries and maple syrup add natural sweetness and flavor to the pancakes, making them delicious and enjoyable to eat. You can further customize this pancake recipe by adding ingredients like chopped nuts, seeds, or even mashed bananas. This allows you to tailor the recipe to your taste preferences and dietary needs.

How to make Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes:

First, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until combined. Next, add the egg, kefir, maple syrup, lemon, and lemon zest and whisk until the batter is just combined (be careful not to over-mix). Gently fold in the blueberries.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Once the oil starts to sizzle, add scoops of about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter. Cover the pan, and cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to form and the bottoms of the pancakes are lightly golden brown, about 3 – 4 minutes. Uncover and flip the pancakes with a spatula. Cover again and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden brown.

Finally, Transfer the pancakes to a plate and continue making pancakes until the batter is gone.
