This chocolate protein pancake recipe tastes like dessert for breakfast. And to “top it off”, there’s a big scoop of creamy peanut butter icing on top. It’s super delicious and will keep you full for a while.
This low-fat recipe uses powdered peanut butter which has 1.5g of fat in 2 tablespoons! Peanut butter has 16g. I love peanut butter, and it’s a healthy fat. But it’s still fat, and if I want to consume less then sometimes I’ll go for the powdered version so I can still enjoy the flavor.
You can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast. Why deprive yourself?
OK, let’s get started.
Put 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, egg whites and almond milk in a bowl.
Add 5 drops of natural chocolate sweetener.
Put pan on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Put the batter in the pan. After 2 minutes lower the heat to medium low.
Flip after the top is just about dry.
Now for the icing! Put powdered peanut butter in a measuring cup or bowl.
Then, add non-fat Greek yogurt and almond milk. Mix until smooth, just like icing.
Put the pancake on a plate, and top with the yummy icing. Sprinkle coconut flakes and cranberries on top.
Enjoy the chocolatey goodness!
