Flourless Coconut Chocolate Protein Pancakes

This was a treat for Easter Sunday breakfast so naturally these pancakes had some luxurious sprinkles of chocolate scattered through them. I added my favorite pea protein powder and some coconut flour, which makes these pancakes gluten-free and low in sugar. If you are using a good non-stick fry pan, flipping your pancakes will be easy. If you don't want to use chocolate drops, try adding blueberries.

Flourless Coconut Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1 large mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup of coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup of soy milk
  • 2 scoops of protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons of dairy-free sugar-free dark chocolate drops
  • 3 tablespoons of stevia sweetener powder
  • 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
Directions:
  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl until combined. 
  2. Heat up a large non-stick fry pan and spray with coconut oil.
  3. Pour an even amount of pancake mixture into the pan (my pan could fit four at a time).
  4. Cook on a medium heat until the edges of the pancake start to peel from the pan. When this happens, carefully flip each pancake using a rubber spatula.
  5. Cook on the other side for a few more minutes until cooked through.
  6. Serve with low-fat Greek yoghurt and berries.
