High protein chocolate pancakes with strawberry rhubarb jam and lots of butter
You can use any flavor of protein to make pancakes. I've been doing this for several years. I've used chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies-n-cream mainly. I have used regular whey protein, mass gainer. The only thing you have to watch is to keep the whey protein amount below 30g per 1 cup of flour in the recipe. If you go more than that, it seems to have a negative effect when cooked (on the texture).
My recipe is:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 scoop protein of choice in your flavor
enough water to form pancake batter thickness
Then instead of using maple syrup (which I do use sometimes just not very often), I will use whatever jam I have an excess amount of and right now its strawberry rhubarb jam. I have also used dandelion jam, redbud jam, muscadine jam, rhubarb butter, blueberry jam, peach jam, plum jam, blackberry jam, home made apple sauce, pure raw honey. Sometimes I will garnish with fresh fruit or sprinkle powdered sugar on them. I eat pancakes almost every day so I have to change it up so it doesn't get bland lol
