It's February and that can only mean one thing. Pancake Day is just around the corner! I like to think of it as the Christmas-after-Christmas. A time just far away from the big day to feel like you deserve to treat yourself. Pancake Day is coming soon on the 16th of February!
To celebrate Pancake Day this year I've teamed up with JimJams to provide the toppings and Griddle to provide the pancakes themselves. JimJams have recently launched 2 new vegan flavours of Chocolate spread. Dark Chocolate Orange and Dark Hazelnut. Griddle sent me a chocolate chip pancake mix which I prepared with soya milk to keep it vegan.
I used half of the provided mix to make 6 small pancakes stacked high and drizzled it with the melted spread. Pictured are the pancakes drizzled with the melted dark chocolate orange spread (which was my favourite of the two) with some icing sugar sprinkled over the top. I tried some the next day with the hazelnut spread which was just as delicious.
Now, this was only using half the mix and only a couple of tablespoons of the spread so there's plenty to go around and at only 83 calories per pancake and 50 calories per dessert spoon of the JimJams spread it's easy on the teeth too. JimJams contains only plant-based ingredients and no added refined sugar.
The pancakes were incredibly easy to make and only required you to add the milk. You can add an egg if desired or you can even replace the milk with water! You would never be able to tell that what you were eating contained no dairy whatsoever so it was refreshing to try something so tasty yet not as bad for you as you would initially think.
JimJams is currently on offer for only £2 and you can grab a jar of either flavour from Sainsburys, Morrisons, Waitrose, Asda and Ocado just in time for Pancake Day on the 16th of February!

Note: I was sent this product to review. I try to write all of my reviews as honestly as possible but it's important to be transparent when I was given the product for the purpose of this review.
