Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes..healthy pancakes full of fruit and protein!!

Today we are talking pancakes. Not just any pancakes. Big, beautiful Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes! That’s right. This glorious stack of pancakes you see isn’t full of sugar and fried up in loads of butter. These pancakes are full of bananas, protein powder, and dark chocolate cocoa powder, and cooked in coconut oil.

This has everything indulgent you would ever want from a big stack of pancakes but instead starting your day on a load of empty calories this gives you real sustenance to get through your day!

Look at these beauties! They kind of look like brownies in pancake form because of the light fluffy texture, but the crisp edges. This is where the coconut oil comes into play. If you cook these in regular oil or butter you won’t get quite the same effect.

Happy Saturday, friends! I am headed to the Farmer’s Market!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (I used GF Bisquick)
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup protein powder*
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (I used dark chocolate)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • coconut oil for cooking
  • *I used Vitasport Prozein Synthesis protein powder in chocolate. However, any kind will do.

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a blender and blend for 20 seconds or until smooth. Make sure you scrape down the edges of the blender to be sure everything is blended.
  2. Lightly stir the chocolate chips into the batter.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat, add about a teaspoon of coconut oil to the skillet use a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop to the batter into your skillet.
  4. Wait 2-3 minutes or until you see little bubbles forming on your batter, flip pancake until other side is golden brown.
  5. Before you add a new batch to the skillet add oil again.
  6. Enjoy with warm peanut butter drizzled over the top, or syrup.
  7. This made 12 large pancakes for me.

      Mary Frances! Double chocolate is the way to my heart too! :) I almost left out the chocolate chips, but I thought with all that protein you need to off set it with a little something indulgent, right?!

    These really do look like brownies in pancake form! And I want to eat the entire stack right now!! I feel like I only eat pancakes when I go out for breakfast and order then, but I think I need to start making them more often! Maybe I'll do some chocolate pancakes for dinner this week :)

    I made this for breakfast and they were great! Turned out very thick though so added some milk to thin the batter.
