Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup protein powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, and melted butter. Whisk these wet ingredients until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently into the batter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, around 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Keep pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes immediately with additional honey, syrup, or fresh fruit if desired.
