3 T. Baking Powder
3/4 t. Ground Ginger
1/2 t. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 t. Ground Cloves
1/4 C. Ground Hazelnuts (optional)

In a medium bowl whisk together milk, chocolate syrup, egg whites and molasses. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir just enough to moisten; batter will be lumpy.

Heat a thick, nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil over the bottom of the pan. Pour batter on to the griddle, using 1/4 cup for each pancake (spread out a little with the back of a spoon because the batter is thick). Cook until lightly brown on both sides and serve hot.
