Chocolate Protein Pancakes to DIE for!!

The other night my boyfriend & I had kind of a sweet tooth, but we didn’t want to spend a lot of time cooking dinner (we wanted food NOW) so we decided on protein pancakes. Every time I make protein pancakes the recipe is always different based on what I have at home. Sometimes they’re banana, sometimes I use vanilla protein powder, sometimes chocolate, sometimes just eggs…However, this time they were exceptionally delicious & required minimal ingredients (which I normally have at home) so I had to blog this recipe #1 to share it with all of YOU and #2 so I don’t ever forget this recipe. This is definitely a repeat!

You only need 5 ingredients for these protein pancakes & I am sure a lot of you already have everything at home.

That’s for the pancake alone…but (my sweet tooth was talkin’) I decided to add 1 TBSP of raw almond butter, some fresh berries, unsweetened coconut flakes, raw honey & more cinnamon on top! Like seriously, I don’t even know if it gets any better than this!
