Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup flour (we use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 for gluten free)
1/4 cup vegan protein powder (we use K’achava )
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp maple syrup (plus more for serving)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup water
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, baking powder and salt + cinnamon together.
2. Then add maple syrup, vanilla extract and water. Mix until it is well combined and a thick (but pourable) consistency.
3. While the batter is resting, heat up a non-stick pan on medium heat. Use a cooking spray to lightly oil the pan. When the pan is hot, scoop 1/4 cup of batter at a time into the pan.
4. Flip the pancake after 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to firm up. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until dry and golden. You may need to adjust the heat to a lower temperature after cooking a few pancakes.
5. Enjoy with toppings of your choice! We love serving with warm maple syrup and fresh berries
