Protein pancakes are a great way to have your protein powder after a workout or just have them for brunch or afternoon tea 😉 However or whenever you have them, they are a delicious alternative to regular pancakes.
By adding raw cacao powder for the chocolate taste you are also adding a superfood – YAY!
This is the recipe I tried and it was lovely but you can adapt the ingredients to suit your tastes 🙂
Ingredients
- Vanilla Protein powder (or use chocolate) – 1 scoop pp
- Cacao powder – 1 tsp
- Avocado – 1/2 large one or 1 small one pp
- Egg – 1 pp
- Almond milk – 1/2 – 1 cup depending on consistency – you want it runny but thick
- Frozen berries – 1/2 cup
- Pecans
- Maple Syrup
- Coconut oil – 1 tbsp
Make it
- Pop the protein powder, cacao, avocado, egg and almond milk into a smoothie cup and blend
- Heat the coconut oil to medium heat in a frying pan – you need to ensure that with every batch, you add more coconut oil to the pan to avoid burning your pancakes
- Pour the mixture into the pan slowly making small circles
- When you see small bubbles start to form on the top, use a spatula and turn the pancakes over until cooked through
- Heat the frozen berries in a pan until thawed / or pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute
- Pop the pancakes into a stack and pour the berry mix over the top
- Add the pecans and drizzle the maple syrup over the stack
Enjoy 🙂
With love,
