Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve Warm: Stack your protein-packed almond flour pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Mix-Ins and Flavor Options:

• Berry Blast: Fold in fresh berries such as blueberries or raspberries into the batter for a burst of fruity goodness.
• Chocolate Chip Crave: Add dark chocolate chips (I like HuKitchen! code HEALTHYHELPER saves 15%) to the batter for a chocolatey treat. Serve with a drizzle of almond butter or peanut butter for an extra protein punch.
• Banana Nut: Mash ripe bananas into the batter and sprinkle chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans) for a delightful crunch.
• Cinnamon Roll: Mix ground cinnamon into the batter for a warm, comforting flavor. Serve with a cream cheese drizzle and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delicious twist.

Why Choose Protein Powder?
