Certainly! Here’s a recipe for keto-friendly chocolate chip protein pancakes that are both low carb and delicious:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (ensure it’s low-carb and keto-friendly)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sugar-free chocolate chips (use a brand with no added sugars or choose 85-90% dark chocolate and chop it into small pieces)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to whisk them together thoroughly to avoid clumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add almond milk, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the pancakes.
- Preheat Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with additional butter or coconut oil if needed.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips on top. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate. You can top them with more sugar-free chocolate chips, a dollop of whipped cream (if desired), or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
- Enjoy: These chocolate chip protein pancakes are now ready to be enjoyed! They’re a delicious and keto-friendly breakfast option.
Remember, the sweetness can be adjusted by adding keto-friendly sweeteners to the batter if desired. Make sure to check the labels on all ingredients to ensure they fit within your keto and low-carb dietary requirements.
