Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup chocolate protein powder
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup coconut milk (can substitute with plain Greek yogurt)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil (melted but not hot (can substitute with melted butter or avocado oil))
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Steps

1. 1

   Add oats, salt, and baking powder into the jar of your kitchen blender or food processor. Blend together until powdery like consistency.

2. 2

   Add the rest of the ingredients.

3. 3

   Blend until all nice, homogenous consistency.

4. 4

   If the dough seems to be on a thick side, add a tablespoon or two of milk. Make sure the dough isn’t super thick or else it will cause the pancakes to be dense.

5. 5

   Grease a nonstick pan with oil or butter.

6. 6

   Drop 2 tablespoons of butter onto the skillet. Or use an ice cream scoop that is about 2 tablespoons in size.

7. 7

   Cook pancakes on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on one side. And about 1-2 minutes on the second.

8. 8

   Serve your pancakes warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and additional maple or honey syrup. Top with fresh fruits, if desired.
