Chocolate Protein Pancakes
These chocolate protein pancakes are quick, easy, and so satisfying. With over 25g protein and only 3g sugar per serving, they make the ultimate high-protein breakfast you’ll want on repeat.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- ¾ cup oat flour (100 grams, use certified gluten-free if needed)
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder (30 grams, I used Equip Prime Protein)
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup chocolate chips optional
- Butter or cooking oil for pan if needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut sugar and baking powder.
- Add milk and eggs and stir until fully combined.
- Spray a medium sized non-stick pan with cooking spray or butter, if needed and set heat to low-medium. Once hot, pour in pancake batter (I use ¼ cup for each) and cook until little bubbles form (about 3-5 minutes). If using chocolate chips, top each pancake with a few while cooking on the one side.
- Carefully flip the pancakes over to the other side. Cook until pancakes are done in the middle (typically takes another 2-3 minutes).
- For serving, place four pancakes on each plate, top with a drizzle of maple syrup, nut butter and toppings of choice.
Notes
- Protein powder: I used Equip Prime Protein. Different brands absorb liquid differently, so you may need to add a splash more milk if your batter seems too thick.
- Storage: Pancakes store well in the fridge for 4–5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or a skillet for the best texture.
- Serving size: Nutrition info is calculated for 2 servings (4 pancakes each) without chocolate chips or toppings. Adding chips or toppings will change the numbers.
