These Chocolate Protein Pancakes are a delicious and nutritious twist on classic pancakes, packed with protein and rich chocolate flavor. Made with oat flour and chocolate protein powder, they offer a satisfying and wholesome breakfast option that’s easy to prepare and perfect for fueling your day.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes (2 servings of 4 pancakes each)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup oat flour (100 grams, use certified gluten-free if needed)
  • ¼ cup chocolate protein powder (30 grams, I used Equip Prime Protein)
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 large eggs

Optional

  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • Butter or cooking oil for pan, if needed

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder until fully combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add the eggs to the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Preheat Pan: Heat a medium-sized non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or butter if necessary to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately ¼ cup of pancake batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook until little bubbles form on the surface, about 3 to 5 minutes. If using chocolate chips, sprinkle a few on each pancake while the batter is cooking on the first side.
  5. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until cooked through in the center, usually another 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Place four pancakes on each plate and top with maple syrup, nut butter, or other toppings of your choice for serving.

Notes

  • Protein powder absorption varies by brand, so add extra milk if the batter seems too thick.
  • Store pancakes in the refrigerator for 4–5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
  • Nutrition info is based on 2 servings (4 pancakes each) without chocolate chips or toppings; adding these will affect nutritional values.
