Double Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes

Double Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes 

Ingredients: (4-6 pancakes):

• 1 egg
• 2 egg whites 
• 1 medium banana
• 1 TBSP plain fat free Greek yogurt 
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 scoop chocolate protein 
• 1/4 cup pb2 (or 2 TBSP of regular peanut butter) 
• 2 TBSP unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Old fashioned oats
• 2 TSP unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 TBSP baking stevia (or 3 packets of stevia or sweetener of choice)
• 1 TBSP unsweetened dark chocolate chips 

Directions:

1. In a bowl mix with the wet ingredients (and banana). Note if you want a smooth batter, use a blender and combine everything but chocolate chips. I mixed mine in a bowl instead of a blender to get that  rough texture as pictured.  
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips. (Skip this step if you used a blender) 
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until batter is smooth and well combined. 
4. Pour batter for each pancake onto heated griddle sprayed with non-stick. Batter makes 5-6 regular sized pancakes.  
5. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on each pancake before flipping. Optional: top pancakes with a few chocolate chips
