Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup old fashioned oats, I really like Bob's Red Mill, gluten free
1/2 cup unsweetened almond, or coconut milk
1 ripe banana
2 large, free range eggs
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp of sea salt
1/8 tsp of cinnamon
1 scoop protein powder of choice
1/4 cup organic dark chocolate chips
coconut oil spray
Instructions
Place all ingredients except chocolate chips into your blender, or food processor and blend on low speed until just combined.
Heat a nonstick grill pan to medium-high heat and spray it with some coconut oil. Gently pour in 1/4 cup of batter, per pancake, then sprinkle equally with chocolate chips.
When the edges start to look golden and bubbly (about 2 minutes), flip and cook for another minute or two on the other side.
Serve with a drizzle of raw honey, or pure maple syrup and enjoy!
