Serves 1Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 1 Egg
- 1 scoop SFN Vanilla Protein Powder
- 2 Tbsp Oats
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 50ml Milk
- Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (I used Pip&Nut)
- Optional: 1 tsp Maca Powder
Method
- Start by placing all of the ingredients, including the protein powder, apart from your chocolate spread, into a blender.
- Blend together until a smooth and slightly thick batter has formed. If your batter is too thick add a splash more milk and if its too thin add a few more oats.
- Heat a non- stick pan over a medium heat before pouring in small dollops of pancake batter.
- Once the batter starts to form air bubbles in the pan on one side, add a half a tsp of chocolate spread into the middle of the pancake. Add a little more raw batter to cover the chocolate before carefully flipping over and cooking on the other side.
- Repeat this with the remaining pancake mix.
- Once all your pancakes are cooked, top with your favourite fruit and drizzle with maple syrup if you like before tucking in!

WHAT OUR PRO TEAM SAYS:
"As you have probably guessed by the title of this protein recipe, these pancakes have a oozy and melty chocolate centre which make them even more delightful. For the centre of these, Fran (Our foodie) used a little scoop of chocolate hazelnut spread, but it would work just as well with Nutella or a square of dark chocolate.
Tip: if you are going to use a spread, place the jar in the fridge a few hours before (or overnight) so that it sets and is easier to scoop out onto the pancake."
