Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 large eggs (or mashed banana/flax eggs for vegan)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, protein powder, baking powder, and sweetener.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (some lumps are okay).
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Ladle a scoop of batter onto the skillet; flip when bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Cook for another minute until golden and fluffy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or Greek yogurt.
Notes
Patience is key! Let the skillet heat properly and watch for bubbles to know when to flip the pancakes.
