Protein Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Chocolate chip pancakes are Ry’s favorite thing for breakfast, but of course I had to find a way to add nutritional value to them. These cakes get super fluffy on the inside and crisp up nicely on the outside. And, a true testament to the success of these is the fact that Ry requests these regularly.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup your favorite pancake mix

  • 1 scoop of protein powder (I used vanilla)

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted, then cooled)

  • Chocolate chips

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients other than the pancake mix and protein powder in a large bowl. Then, add those two in. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot. Go all out and drizzle maple syrup on these bad boys.
