Sometimes you just want chocolate and bread! So this throw-and-go Chocolate Protein Pancakes recipe from my NY Times Best Selling Book Push, gives you the best of both worlds! I love to eat these pancakes warm with a few banana slices rolled in the center and a little drizzle of honey. They’re also awesome cold, dipped into some of your favorite yogurt.
If you’re not a breakfast person and like intermittent fasting, make these and eat them for on-the-go-snacks. Or, make them for dinner with a side of egg whites. YUM! Check out of of our other favorite pancake recipes here, made in a blender!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1.5 packets of Instant Oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- .5 cup chocolate protein powder
- Stevia, to taste
Directions:
- Mix egg whites, oatmeal, vanilla, cinnamon, protein powder, and sweetener in a blender and process until completely blended. Pour the batter into small medallions on a hot griddle or nonstick skillet. The batter is on the thicker side, so take the back of a spoon and spread out the batter so that the pancake is flattened to about 4 inches in diameter. When you notice the edges starting to bubble, flip the pancake to the other side.
Makes 8 pancakes.

How many grams of sugar per serving?
same question…what is the sugar per serving. Really trying hard to keep the sugar low in my diet
Great question! It will vary slightly depending upon the protein powder and vanilla extract you use. But here are some general breakdowns.
Oatmeal (according to Quaker Oats website): 1g sugar (per serving)
Egg whites: 0.2 g sugar (per cup)
Vanilla extract: about 1.5 g sugar (per tbsp)
Protein powder: read the label of the powder you use
Hope that helps!
Sounds Faaaaaaboulous! I will certainly be trying that! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!
I would use just plain oatmeal. Those instant oatmeal packets are loaded with sugar and added calories.
This was delicious. This was my treat meal this morning 🙂 Thank you so much and I love your book, “Push”and I’m loving, PiYo 🙂
Yay!! Fabulous!
Where can you purchase your new PIYO work out?
Hi April! So excited you want to give PiYo a GO! I will have a Beach Body coach contact you 🙂
Hi! I’m wondering what kind of protein powder can you recommend?
Hi Lauren, There are so many different options out there. So my recommendation would be to visit your local health food store and try a couple different powders out. Typically stores will sell a variety of individually packaged powders. This gives you the opportunity to see which ones work best with your body and which ones you enjoy the taste of 🙂 Also, take some time to go online and research different brands and read reviews. There’s a lot of debate in the market on what kinds of proteins are best for you…but at the end of day, go with what works best for you.
Loved it!!! I added a bit of a twist to mine so thank you for a great recipe! Even my husband liked it and he avoids my “concoctions” like the plague. A new go-to-meal for me. 🙂
Awesome! Love to hear that!
Great recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
You’re welcome Susan! So glad you like it 🙂
Years ago you had a blog that had a protein pancake recipe that I LOVED! But I have lost it! It was simple but I don’t remember the proportions: blended oats, cottage cheese, egg (whites, I believe?), maybe milk, and cinnamon, I think that sums it up…could you help me out and reply with the measurements? 🙂
Sooooooo delicious they were requested for FATHER’s DAY!!!
