Breakfast is my favorite meal, although it hasn’t always been that way. It took me a while to get used to having breakfast in the morning, and one of the things that have helped me the most has been preparing sweet and healthy recipes.
These cocoa and pear pancakes, for example, are a real vice.
It is one of my favorite breakfasts because it is delicious and delicate as a dessert, it is prepared in just 10 minutes, and it is vegetarian and gluten-free, which is perfect for everyone.
To prepare this wonder, you only need a few easy-to-find ingredients and a good non-stick pan.

Customize your pancakes

I usually eat these pancakes with blueberries on top, but you can give them your personal touch by choosing the fruit you prefer. Raspberries, kiwis, cherries, strawberries, mango, and even tangerines look great. Go ahead and try new combinations.
