Indulge in these rich and decadent chocolate pancakes, made with slow-digesting casein protein to keep you full and satisfied. Packed with 22 grams of high-quality protein per serving, these pancakes are perfect for supporting muscle recovery and maintaining steady energy levels throughout the day. The velvety chocolate flavor delivers a luscious taste with a moist, tender crumb that melts in your mouth, while a hint of cocoa adds a satisfying depth of flavor. Their fluffy yet slightly dense texture makes each bite a delightful treat—ideal for a leisurely breakfast or a post-workout boost. Thanks to the wholesome ingredients, these pancakes are not only nourishing but also gluten-free if you use gluten-free oats or flour, and vegan alternatives can be easily incorporated with plant-based milk and egg substitutes. For best results, gently fold ingredients to avoid deflating the batter, and cook over medium-low heat for evenly browned, tender edges. Enjoy these as a satisfying meal prep option by making a batch to reheat during busy mornings, or serve them topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of almond butter for an extra flavor boost. Whether you’re fueling up after a gym session or craving a guilt-free dessert, these chocolate casein pancakes deliver both indulgence and nutrition in every bite.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

In a mixing bowl, combine the casein protein powder, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sweetener.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.

5

Serve warm with fresh berries, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My pancakes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
