Chocolate Protein Pancake Recipe



One of my favorite things to eat and enjoy is a protein pancake! So good! I promise that you will love them too! I actually learned this from a friend of mine when were competing together. Now there are LOTS of different recipes to follow for making protein pancakes. I prefer this one because it’s quick, simple and requires just a few ingredients.

Ingredients:
1 scoop of flavored protein powder
2 egg whites
¼ cup of pumpkin
1 tbsp Coco powder



Directions:
Mix ingredients together in a bowl and then pour into a pan. You may have to add a little bit of water to the batter or “pat” the mixture down in the pan, as it will come out pretty think. Cook in the pan over medium heat (about the same as if you were cooking eggs) about 2 minutes each side. The taste great warm, cold and are even great to save and keep in the fridge for a few days to enjoy later.


** Make it like a sandwich and add a table spoon of peanut butter or almond butter…YUM!

Tip: Use a “casein” protein rather than a whey protein… it cooks/bakes much better because the protein molecules don’t break down as fast as in whey and it binds well with the egg whites to make a thick cooking batter.

Flavors I enjoy are chocolate, vanilla, and pumpkin. Just add a little coco powder, cinnamon spice or pumpkin spice to your batter to enhance the favors.
