Ingredients

1 cup Unbleached All-purpose Flour
3 Tablespoons Dutch-process Cocoa
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Egg
1-1/4 cup Buttermilk
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled
1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips, Plus More For Serving
Marshmallow Creme And Mini Marshmallows, To Serve

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the egg well. Whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter. Add the flour mixture and whisk until only a few lumps remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
At this point, the batter can rest for up to 30 minutes. I find the longer I let it rest, the fluffier my pancakes are. Pour the batter by 1/4 cup measures onto an electric griddle heated to 350 ºF or into a hot skillet coated with butter. Cook until the edges are set and the top has lots of bubbles. Flip and cook a minute or two more, until done.
Serve topped with the marshmallow creme, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
