Chocolate Almond Protein Power Pancakes
Pancakes are a classic breakfast or brunch food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. However, traditional pancakes can be high in sugar and unhealthy fats. Meet these Healthy, Whole Wheat, Protein Pancakes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pancake mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup high protein yogurt
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder optional if you want a slightly deeper chocolate flavor
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and chocolate protein powder.
- Grease and preheat pancake or frying pan on the stovetop.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
To make the pancakes ahead of time, cook them as usual and then let them cool completely. Store the pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months. To reheat, simply warm them in a toaster or air fryer.
