Oh pancakes...it takes me back to special occasion breakfasts where my mom would make us something other than our usual toaster strudel, pop-tart, or cereal. We were always rushing off to school or my parents to work in the morning, so something out of a box was the easiest fill. So those mornings where we got pancakes, we savored our fluffy, syrup drowned treats
I still don't eat pancakes often BUT when I do, I make sure they are far more nutritionally sound than your average Bisquick! These Chocolate Protein Pancakes are fluffy and packed with protein from both the protein powder and the egg whites that combine all the goodness together!
They are a great snack before or after a workout to help fuel and repair your growing muscles.
Depending on the protein powder you use, these pancakes won't be very sweet, so have some syrup, honey, jam, fruits, or whatever else you like, to top it off!
Let's make some pancakes!
