Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Serves 2

Ingredients  

¾ cup oat flour (100 grams, use certified gluten-free if needed)

¼ cup chocolate protein powder - or vanilla but needs to be 30g worth

1 teaspoon cocoa powder (2x tsp if using vanilla protein powder)

1 teaspoon coconut sugar or maple syrup

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.

  
  

PS: pt note, id put a dollop of passionfruit or strawberry plain greek yoghurt on or a drizzle of honey to avoid calories going over!
