Chocolate Protein Pancakes Recipe
Chocolate protein pancakes made in a blender with oats, banana, and protein powder. No flour, no added sugar, and easy to make ahead for the week with 17g of protein per serving.
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder aluminum free
- 2 large eggs
- 2 bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Place the oats in a high speed blender and blend until the oats become powder-like. Transfer to a medium bowl, whisk in the protein powder, cocoa powder and baking powder, and set aside.
- In the same blender, add eggs, banana and vanilla extract, and blend until well combined.
- Return the dry ingredients to the blender, and pulse until just combined, being careful not to over mix; a few lumps are okay. The batter will be thick.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3-4 circles of batter into the pan and use a spatula to spread them slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the pancakes are puffed on top and golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook on the other side 1-2 more minutes until risen and cooked through. Makes 6-7 pancakes.
- Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
My Top Tip: Make sure your pan is hot before adding the batter. To gauge the temperature of the pan, I like to make a test pancake first! You want it to be warm enough to start cooking your pancakes right away, but not so warm that they burn. It shouldn't be smoking!
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can use a microwave or a toaster oven to reheat them!
Freezing: To freeze your pancakes, cool them completely, place them between layers of wax paper, then seal them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, place in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven at 350ºF until they're heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
