Futurama Friday Flapjacks (Double Chocolate! No eggs)

Happy Friday everyone! Remember those healthy healthy pancakes from last week? Yeah, those are long gone. Today I made double chocolate pancakes, and while no one on earth would call them 'healthy' (per se) they were delicious.

Today's Futurama was written as an intended series finale, but the show was renewed, so there's more to come! But still, it turned out to be a big episode, as far as story-lines went. The main character's love story moved forward in a very touching way, and Bender B. Rodriguez (rapscallion, esquire) found himself dealing with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. It was a really fun episode, lots of laughs, with maybe a tear or two at the end. I'm just so glad there's more to come! Recipe!


1 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. oil
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup chocolate chips



Combine your dry ingredients very well (no one likes biting down on a chunk of cocoa.) and then stir in your oil. Stir in your milk until the consistency you like is achieved (confession- I definitely didn't measure.) Stir in your chocolate chips, and put on a hot, greased griddle or pan. Now, you could make pretend that these are healthy, by adding a mashed banana or a chopped apple to it. It would still be very delicious. If I had had them, I would have added strawberries or a strawberry sauce on top. Yum! I like to serve with just a touch of powdered sugar on top for that little extra something.



Anyway, there's only one episode left of Futurama this season! We may have to look into other food/show days. Dave and I have a favourite show, Community that will air Thursday nights this fall. Since we'll watch them on Fridays, maybe the tradition will continue. But I am bummed it will mess up my alliteration. Oh well! Hope you enjoy!
