A Chocolate dessert for breakfast??? Well not quite dessert but it sure does look like it doesn't it? You can definitely have it for breakfast!! YES, yes you can!!! Made with egg whites, oats and an incredible filling that tastes AMAZING, but is totally healthy I promise!
My Italian heritage strikes again. You must see the resemblance to a cannoli right? Only this one is super sized! Of course when making this giant pancake a few times I thought how nice an easy filling would be and well......yep it looks like a cannoli. Doesn't have the sugar or calories of a cannoli so you will have no guilt when eating one of these babies!
The little chocolate chips are actually unsweetened cacao nibs and give a nice crunch to the filling. They are certainly optional and of course you could add fruit, nuts or chocolate chips instead.
You can eat this giant stuffed pancake all by yourself, no sharing necessary! It's around 250 calories and has a nice even amount of protein and carbs, around 23 grams of protein!
The BEST part about this recipe is this insanely delicious healthy filling I made up! Great plans ahead for this filling, you will definitely see it appear again in some future recipes!!!

There is no way that the filling is only two tablespoons worth. That looks at least 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt, maybe even half.

I spread it very thin in the center and stuck more at the end to be able to show it better in the picture. It was about 1/4 cup there.
