Delicious Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes
I am always on the lookout for a high-protein breakfast that isn't just yogurt or cottage cheese. These protein pancakes are super simple and only have three ingredients in the mix! With 11g of protein per serving, they make for the perfect meal-prep breakfast to make before a busy week in the office.
Ingredients
- spray oil
- 1 tbsp Lilly's milk chocolate baking chips
- 1/3 cup Trader Joe's Protein Pancake Mix
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, use a whisk to mix together the chocolate chips and protein pancake mix.
- Slowly add the water to the dry mix. Use the same whisk to gently stir the water into the mixture until all the clumps are gone.
- Add more water if you want your pancake batter to be thinner.
- Heat some spray olive oil on a pan over medium heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the protein pancake mix to the pan. You can portion it into two pancakes or make one large pancake. It is up to you!
- Cook the pancakes until they are golden-brown on one side. Use a spatula to quickly flip the pancakes over to the other side.
- Once fully cooked through and golden-brown on each side, remove the pancakes from the heat and let them cool.
- Enjoy immediately with some syrup and eggs, or store in tupperware on your counter or in your fridge!
Notes
Protein Pancake Mix: I use the Trader Joe's protein pancake mix because I genuinely think they cook up better than most protein pancake brands and have great macros. However, feel free to use whichever brand you prefer. You can find lots of protein pancake mixes at your local grocery store.
Chocolate Chips: feel free to leave out the chocolate chips if you want a lower-calorie version of this recipe. Without the chocolate, the pancakes are 140kCal per serving with 10g of protein. You can also add in blueberries for a fruity pancake!
Other add-ins: if you want to up the protein, you can use milk instead of water to add to your protein pancake mix. You can also add a single egg into the mixture to get more protein as well!
