Pro Tips
• For the fluffiest texture, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes after blending. This lets the protein powder fully absorb the liquid.
• Cook these pancakes on medium-low heat. The cocoa powder can cause them to burn quickly on higher heat before the inside is cooked through.
• Don’t have a food processor? You can whisk this batter by hand in a large bowl. Ensure you break up all the clumps from the cocoa and protein powder for a smooth result.
• These pancakes are fantastic for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a toaster or microwave.
