I am always looking for ways to add some protein to our breakfasts.  Eggs are a staple in our house, but sometimes you just need a little variety, and who doesn’t love chocolate for breakfast?

I have tried a few protein pancake recipes and this is our all time favorite!

Chocolate Protein Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond meal
  • 1 scoop Chocolate Recover Protein Powder*
  • 4 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 2 Tbsp powdered peanut butter (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Whisk together all your wet ingredients. Add your dry ingredients and mix well. Make pancakes as you normally would.

I love to use an ice cream scoop to perfectly portion my pancakes.

This recipe makes 8 pancakes.  Each pancake is only 6 carbs.  If following the 21 Day Fix I would count this as 1 yellow per pancake.

* Chocolate Recovery Protein Powder is part of the Beachbody Performance line.
