Choc(olate) Full of Protein Pancakes {gluten Free}

Happy Monday to you all! I know Monday can be a drag, so hopefully today’s recipe will perk you up! Plus this week, I’m linking up with the lovely Tina Muir from Fuel Your Future with Tina to bring you all kinds of delicious Meatless Monday recipes, so head on over there to check them all out. 

On to the recipe! I’m all about breakfast lately. It’s the most important meal of the day, after all. A day without breakfast is like a day without air! Ok – it’s not that drastic, but I love me some morning eats. 

So without further ado, allow me to introduce you to these Choc(olate) Full of Protein Pancakes! 

These babies are DElish. They don’t have that chalky protein texture most protein pancakes have. I attribute that to my fave protein powder: Vega Sport. Plus, chocolate for breakfast? Ummm yes please! 

Just whisk all the ingredients together and cook ‘em on up! All the healthy carbs and boat loads of protein will keep you full ’til lunch. Check out the stats:

Top them off with some NuNaturals chocolate syrup and you’ve got the breakfast of chocolate champions! Recipe at the end of this post.
