Make these easy Chocolate Protein Pancakes in a flash! Blend ingredients together, cook, then enjoy for a high protein healthy breakfast. This recipe is perfect for meal-prep. Store leftover pancakes in the fridge or freezer and reheat as needed!

Chocolate Protein Pancakes Ingredients:

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

• 2 medium ripe bananas (fresh or frozen!)
• Chocolate protein powder of your choice
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 whole, large eggs
• Rolled oats
• Almond milk (or another milk of choice)
• Maple syrup (or another sweetener of choice)

How to Make Chocolate Protein Pancakes:

One of the reasons I love this recipe is because it’s so easy and requires minimal dishes. See for yourself!

Step 1: Blend Ingredients Together

Add all pancake ingredients to a blender and blend until batter is smooth and well-combined.

Step 2: Cook The Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Grease a pan or skillet and bring to medium heat. Pour batter from the blender onto the pan (approx. 1/4 cup per pancake) and cook until bubbles form (2-3 minutes). Flip, and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat for the rest of the batter.

Step 3: Top and enjoy!

What are pancakes without the toppings? I recommend adding fruit, a little maple syrup, peanut butter, or anything else that sounds good to you.

Substitution Suggestions:

• For eggs: You can substitute one “flax egg” per egg in this recipe. To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes.
• For chocolate protein powder: You can substitute vanilla or unflavoured protein powder, although the chocolate flavour of the pancakes may not be as rich.
• For almond milk: You can use whatever milk you prefer.
