Chocolate Protein Powder Pancakes
Easy Chocolate Protein Powder Pancakes recipe that can be made vegan. These are so quick to make, and so soft and fluffy. Perfect breakfast or brunch idea.
I am looking forward to the weekend so much that I am posting these chocolate protein powder pancakes now. When no one is thinking about pancakes.
But to be honest, I am always thinking about pancakes. Especially ones with an extra kick of protein to keep me fuller longer.
Okay, so it's true that these pancakes are almost identical to my vanilla protein powder pancakes that I made last year. I just wanted to make these ones because firstly, I don't seem to have enough time to test recipes to see if they are good and two, because I don't want any of you to miss how GOOD this recipe is. Whichever your preference is: be it chocolate or vanilla.
I am not sure if I have a preference when it comes to these pancakes. I might like them both equally.
What do you need to make these Chocolate Protein Powder Pancakes?
All you need is:
- flour
- chocolate protein powder
- baking powder
- salt
- maple syrup
- water
That's it!
I topped these pancakes with coconut yogurt and chocolate chips mainly because I thought it would look nice in a photo. You know, seeing as how I'm a food blogger, that's my main objective, right? But when I tried a bite with this topping, I knew that I I would have this from now on, regardless if I was taking a photo.
Unless there is any pancake toppings that you would suggest? Please let me know in a comment, I am always up for experimenting with my pancakes!

Chocolate Protein Powder Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients until smooth.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat, and lightly grease the pan. Scoop ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the top. Flip the pancake over, and cook the other side for an additional minute, or until the side is golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
These pancakes were delicious and I loved that they contained extra protein. I have used my vanilla protein powder and they came out delicious. My 18 year old son loved these too.
So glad that they were a hit with your family 🙂
These chocolate protein powder pancakes are easy to make, surprisingly tasty (I'm not a big fan of protein powder), and very filling. I'll be meal-prepping a batch this weekend to enjoy throughout the week!
Yay! I am so glad that you liked them! 🙂
I love whipping up these protein pancakes after a workout. It's soft, fluffy, and just what I need to start the day!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Fluffy and delicious! I made a double batch to freeze for later. Thanks for the recipe!
You're welcome!
Such a great use of protein powder! I can't wait to try these. They look amazing!
Let me know how it goes!
Always looking for protein pancake recipes and this was so good and fluffy! Not chalky or dry at all so i'll be making these weekly! Thank you!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
This recipe is a keeper! I am always looking for ways to add more protein to my diet. I love that I can make a big batch of these and grab them throughout the week!
So glad you liked it!
What a great way to use up chocolate protein powder! I had a whole bunch left over because I didn't like the blended texture and this was the perfect way to eat them. Yay!!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Been years since I have made my own pancakes from scratch, this is a very nice recipe with protein boost. I like chocolate.
Me too. This recipe is a winner!
I usually go for the yoghurt fruit combination for topping pancakes and if I am craving something a little sweeter I will often add a drizzle of syrup or honey. These do look lovely and a great way to start the day.
This is the first time I topped pancakes with yogurt! I am late on the train!
Love that you added protein here! Sometimes I find that pancakes are never filling enough...I'm full first and not long after the hunger bug strike again. The added protein would certainly help out! Plus, chocolate - YUM!
Haha, totally agree. Thanks Dawn!
I also am always thinking about pancakes 🙂 this is a great recipe, really easy and made with simple ingredients....great recipe!!
Thanks Albert! It is so easy that I make it most weekends 🙂

Thanks Gloria!!
Cathleen, it worked! I can see your blog posts in my feed now - I just had to re-add your link although it was already there, phew!
And guuuurl, these pancakes look lush! 😀 I used to make protein pancakes all the time, but then I stopped for some reason. Now I am feeling inspired again though 😀 And also, word! I never usually order anything I can easily whip up myself when we go for fancy brunch, I mean - you gotta treat yourself, right? 😀 x
It worked for me too! Although now I need to figure out my login to comment on your things. I think I'll just need to change my password!
Hahawww the struggles 😋 I’m glad it worked though, yay!!
These look delicious. Love the chocolate and coconut combination too!
Same here! It is so tasty!
