Dark Chocolate Protein Pancakes Recipe 455

Steps:

• Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in eggs until well combined, then mix in remaining ingredients.
• Heat a skillet to medium and add in a scoop of the pancake batter. Smooth out to form an even layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until you start to see bubbles releasing from the top of the batter. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
• Garnish your pancakes with your favorite toppings! We used fresh strawberries and maple syrup.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Whisk almond milk, flaxseed, cinnamon, sea salt, vanilla and oil in a medium sized bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. In a smaller bowl, mix together flour, protein and cacao powder. Combine dry ingredients with wet and stir to combine. Add more almond milk if the batter seems too thick. Spoon onto a heated skillet and gently flatten as needed. Cook til small bubbles form in surface, flip and then serve. Buckwheat is a groat, like an oat groat, so don't be fooled by its name, it is gluten free. Protein powder is optional of course but I recommend adding it to baked goods like this to balance out their nutritional profile. I use a sprouted plant based protein so it's just extracted and dehydrated concentrated plant protein, an excellent choice for getting good nutrients in your body.
