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
- 0 cooking spray or additional butter
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently into the batter.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Keep pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes immediately with additional honey, syrup, or fresh fruit if desired.
