Chocolate Protein Pancakes 

If you’re looking for an extra boost, these pancakes are packed with protein and flavor. My husband and I workout daily and these pancakes are a nice little twist to traditional pancakes and adds the protein we need after a workout.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 serving chocolate protein powder (you can use any kind)
• 1 cup milk (I used whole)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and protein powder.
2. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add in the milk, butter, egg and vanilla. Mix until combined and batter is smooth. Do not over mix.
3. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop pancake batter onto skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until pancakes are golden brown.
4. Serve with syrup and enjoy!!
