If you’re planning on making some protein pancakes anytime soon, then I’ve got you covered with this recipe! These couldn’t be more simple to make and actually mean that a healthy breakfast can indeed consist of a stack of chocolatey pancakes! Although, these might not be the most practical suggestion for rushed mornings when you need something to grab and go, but since most of us are currently working from home, it can be pancakes everyday!
I’ve kept these fairly low in sugar, gluten free and high protein, which is a perfect way for me to kickstart my morning. I find that what I eat for breakfast, really impacts my food choices for the rest of the day so I always try and kickstart with something healthy and relatively low in sugar.
I’ve used a chocolate whey protein in this recipe, but you could always switch this up for a different flavour and omit the cacao powder if you wanted to experiment with flavours.
