Chocolate protein pancakes prove that healthy can be delicious and fun, too! Adults and kids alike love these delicious pancakes. Easy to make with just 4 ingredients, these pancakes are a nutritious way to start the day.
This recipe has 10 grams of protein per serving, with just 4 grams of sugar – and it yields lots of smiling faces.
I’m a very habitual eater and consistently eat the same things, with an indulgence here or there, like pancakes. I’ve been working to integrate more protein into my diet and everyday recipes and growing more conscious of it for our entire family as well. These pancakes are a protein rich breakfast.
To make a special treat like pancakes a little healthier, I make my pancakes with Fairlife milk, which reduces the sugar and adds protein. Because of the higher protein, it holds structure together, creating fluffier chocolate protein pancakes.
Ingredients
- Eggs – Size large
- Flour – All purpose
- Baking Powder – For lift
- Fairlife Chocolate Milk – Or, for even more protein, choose a chocolate protein shake.
Tips from my Test Kitchen
- I like to separate the eggs, beating egg whites until they’re stiff, then gently folding in remaining ingredients.
- The next tip for fluffy pancakes is to not over mix.
- Finally, I let the batter rest for 15 minutes cooking. The result is light and fluffy Protein Pancakes, every time.
