Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 395kcal
Ingredients
Chocolate protein pancakes:
- 4 large egg whites 132g
- ⅓ cup chocolate pea protein blend 33g
Chocolate protein frosting:
- 1 tablespoon almond butter 15g
- 2 tablespoons water 30ml
- ¼ cup chocolate whey protein powder 23g
- 1 tablespoon chocolate pea protein blend 6g
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle over a low-medium flame.
- Make the pancakes by beating the egg whites and protein powder until smooth and fluffy.
- Wait until the griddle is hot enough (when drops of water sizzle up).
- Pour some batter on on the griddle (smaller pancakes flip more easily). Flip after a couple of minutes.
- Cook for another couple of minutes on the other side.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you’ve finished your batter.
- Mix ingredients for frosting in a small bowl.
- Stack the pancakes, frosting each one. And enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when cooked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders for the pancakes. You can substitute casein protein powder for the whey in the frosting, if you like. (You may need to adjust the amount of water.)
