Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: Chocolate chips, sliced bananas, extra peanut butter for topping
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of milk if the batter is too thick or too thin.
You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
Ensure your protein powder is suitable for baking.
