Peanut Butter Cup Protein Pancakes

Yes, you read that correctly. Try not to freak out, everything is going to be OK! Especially after you indulge yourself in these mouth-watering treats that are perfect for your Sunday mornings…f*ck it, they’re perfect for any morning. Or night. Can you tell I’m obsessing?

This is such a simple recipe, so please take the time to treat yo’self! ;P

Ingredients

  • 1 banana — mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 scoop of you favorite chocolate protein powder (I used Quest Chocolate Milkshake)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • ¼ cup of mini dark chocolate morsels
  • Water for desired consistency

Syrup

  • 1½ tablespoons of PB2
  • 1 tablespoon of water
  • 1 teaspoon of honey

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the syrup and put in the refrigerator to cool
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, baking powder, protein powder, and vanilla until smooth
  3. Add the mashed banana to the mix and whisk together
  4. Here is where you can start adding water little by little until you get your desired consistency
    • NOTE: I don’t like to add much water so my pancakes are thicker and fluffier, but they take a long time to cook if that is the case. If you are in a rush, the thinner the pancake batter the faster the cook time
  5. Heat a non-stick pan on low/medium heat
    • NOTE: If the heat is too high the batter will not set and the outside of the pancake will burn
  6. Spoon desired amount of batter into the heated pan and place a few chocolate morsels into the batter
  7. Let cook 1-2 minutes per side until the batter has set and started to bubble a bit
  8. BE PATIENT! It takes a little time, but when all is said and done you will be happy you did not rush the process
  9. Flip the pancakes and let cook another 1-2 minutes
  10. Repeat until batter is gone
  11. Stack the pancakes, adorn with fresh fruit of your choice, and drizzle with the refrigerated syrup
  12. Enjoy the party that is about to happen in your mouth
