Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Pancakes

I don’t eat breakfast very often, but breakfast foods are one of my favorite things to eat. From eggs and chicken sausage, to waffles, pancakes, and french toast, it’s hard to go wrong with any morning meal favorite. The problem? Many carb loaded breakfast foods clock in at thousands of calories, and there’s nothing about them that would even come close to qualifying at healthy.

Enter protein pancakes, and in particular chocolate peanut butter protein pancakes.

This recipe has everything you want: The carb-loaded goodness of pancakes, but with a nutrient profile that makes you go, “I can actually eat these guilt-free!”

Enjoy these on a weekend, before or after a workout, or any time you just want to enjoy breakfast without a second thought.
