High Protein Chocolate Pancakes
Description
The High Protein Chocolate Pancakes use vegan chocolate protein powder and cacao to develop a distinct chocolate taste. The inclusion of gluten-free baking flour and almond milk results in a batter that cooks into soft, tender pancakes with subtle density from the protein powder. Mini chocolate chips provide additional bursts of chocolate with each bite. The method involves gently cooking on medium heat until golden, flipping carefully, and finishing until fully cooked through. These pancakes can be served with favorite toppings, adding extra flavor or texture.
These pancakes are suitable for meal prep; leftovers keep well refrigerated and reheat nicely in a toaster. Adding a bit of almond milk to any batter left to sit prevents excessive thickening and dense texture in subsequent batches. The recipe makes six pancakes, with three considered a serving.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegan protein powder chocolate
- 2 tbs cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup 1:1 gluten-free baking flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tbs mini chocolate chips
- ¾ cup almond milk
- 1 tbs dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tbs maple syrup
Instructions
- Grease a pan and heat it over medium.
- Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients in a bowl adding the almond milk in last.
- Mix well until no clumps remain.
- Portion the batter into the pan using pancake molds.
- Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Flip.
- Recover and cook until cooked through (about 4 minutes).
- Remove the protein pancakes from the pan, top them with your favorites, and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose your protein powder carefully as it affects the texture and flavor of the pancakes.
- If cooking batches separately, add extra almond milk to the batter to keep pancakes from becoming too dense.
- Store leftover pancakes in the fridge and reheat in a toaster to maintain texture.
- For freezing, separate pancakes with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- The recipe yields six pancakes; three pancakes make one serving.
