Chocolate Protein Pancakes

It's been like forever since I have posted, and I am SO sorry. I haven't made pancakes in nearly TWO WEEKS. How is that even possible?
I have been so busy (that's an understatement). 

I have been prepping for the maternity leave I am taking over for at the high school: AP Lit + English Honors = Mind Mush.

I have been working like crazy! Between school and the rec center, I don't have a life.

I have been prepping food every week for lunches and dinners, which leaves NO time for pancakes. 

But, this weekend, because I was obviously craving pancakes, I whipped up some chocolate protein pancakes. 

Super easy and simple. 

If you've got protein, you've got pancakes.



RECIPE:*
1/2 C Arrowroot Starch
1/2 C Potato Starch
3/8 C Almond Flour 
1/8 C Coconut Flour 
3 eggs
1 1/2 (+) C Almond Milk 
1/2 C Coconut Oil 
1t Baking Soda
1t Baking Powder
1t Vanilla
Sprinkle of Salt
2 Scoops Chocolate Casein Protein 

And because it was Sunday I added a large scoop of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks. 

Combine all dry ingredients. Combine oil and milk, beat together, then add in eggs one at a time. Add in vanilla. Slowly add in flour mixture and mix until smooth. Ladle onto griddle. Flip once bubbles start to form at the top of the pancake and edges look brown. 
These cakes are low in sugar, and HIGH in protein and deliciousness. 

Enjoy with a big glass of dark chocolate almond milk (my favorite right now). 

Oh, and indulge in a large stack of about 5, because why not?

Oink, oink! Haylea.

*I'm still not fond of this pancake flour mix, so I am still working out the kinks. Coconut flour is HARD to work with, so I was trying to limit the use. But it makes for super fluffy pancakes. Bear with me while I figure out the perfect mix!
