Did you know that sometimes, on short flights, Delta only offers peanuts to snack on? I was so annoyed/hungry.
What if you’re allergic? There are really no other options?! That’s just nuts. Fail.
I'm not allergic. But I could be.
Peanuts are still too hard for me to chew, but I am pretty sure I could have scarfed down some Biscoff. Hopefully they’ll have more an alternative on the return… do you hear me, Delta Airlines?!
Cheers to you, Freshens fro-yo in Terminal A, for preventing my starving stomach from eating my spine.
I have to run to a day of meetings, but I wanted to post the cocoa spelt pancakes I made earlier in the week… clearly, I’m on a pancake-kick.

Being a single lady (and I use the term loosely), I am always on the look-out for 1-serving meals. When I saw Angela @ Oh She Glows’ Spelt Pancakes for One, I was thrilled.
I used her ‘cakes as a base and modified to include some chocolate and coconut. And peanut butter.
Disclaimer: These are healthy pancakes. Don’t be expecting them to taste like the buttery IHOP version. Don’t be scared – they are delicious in their own right!
Don’t skimp on the topping. PB is it’s own food group.
One size fits one!
Cocoa Spelt Pancakes
- 1/2 C spelt flour
- 1 T cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 C unsweetened So Delicious coconut milk (or your fav milk)
- 1/4 C blueberries (optional)
Whisk all dry ingredients together. Mix milk and vanilla into the dry ingredients.
Heat a skillet on medium while mixing the batter. Coat the pan with a little Earth Balance/butter/cooking spray and spoon the batter onto pan.
When bubbles begin to on pancakes, drop blueberries into the cakes. Wait another 30-ish secs second (until bubbles begin to pop), and flip to cook other side.
Makes 2 respectably-sized pancakes.
Coconut-Peanut Butter Topping
Place equal parts peanut butter (I used TJ’s Valencia) and coconut butter in microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave for 20-30 secs, until just melted (DO NOT over heat… trust me on this… #fail). Stir to combine and pour over pancakes.

I have made the mistake of putting peanut and coconut butter in the microwave for too long. Burnt coconut butter is not the best tasting.
Those are all my fav ingredients combined into one! Especially that coconut milk! And Angela is pretty amazing!
those pancakes look delicious! I love Angela’s recipes 🙂
Cocoa powder, cinnamon, So Delicious coconut milk, blueberries, peanut butter and coconut oil sound like breakfast heaven to me!
I love spelt! great endorsement for the japan fund, too–my heart goes out to all the devastation there
