Chocolate Coconut Protein Pancakes

You all know how much I LOVE my protein pancakes!  Personally, I think pancakes should be their own food group.  Just sayin!  Lol.  So, this morning I was craving chocolate and coconut for some reason and decided to put those two flavors together to make a delicious and nutritious stack of high protein pancakes :)

Chocolate Coconut Protein Pancakes
with warm almond butter sauce and fresh strawberries

Ingredients:
(Dry)
- 2 tbsp Organic Coconut Flour
- 1/2 scoop VPX Sports SRO Zero Carb Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Baking Powder
(Wet)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetend Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1/4 cup Egg Whites
- 1 tbsp Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
- 1/8 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
(Topping)
- 1 tbsp All Natural Almond Butter
- 50g Fresh Organic Strawberries, chopped


Instructions:
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl.
*Tip*
Use a glass measuring cup with a spout to mix ingredients so you can easily pour the pancake batter!
- Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients and stir until you reach a smooth pancake batter consistency.
- Heat pan to Low-Medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray or coat with coconut oil.
- Pour 1/3 of the batter onto pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
*Tip*
When pancakes form air bubbles that is a good indication you should flip your pancake ;)
- This recipe makes 3 medium sized Chocolate Coconut Protein Pancakes!
- Spoon 1 tbsp of almond butter into a small microwave safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds.
- Pour warm almond butter sauce over Chocolate Coconut Protein Pancakes stack.
- Chop fresh strawberries and place on top!

Now enjoy deliciousness! <3
