Sometimes I want plain pancakes. The boring kind. The ones that only require a drizzle of maple syrup and you're good to go. Then other times, I find some chocolate chips and before I know it I've a frying pan in each hand, flour in my hair and I'm flipping pancakes like a pro.

The result? A wholesome, delicious, fluffy vegan pancake stack with warm pockets of melted chocolate. If you do anything this weekend, make these!

THICK AND FLUFFY CHOCOLATE CHIP PROTEIN PANCAKES

INGREDIENTS:



1/2 cup rice flour



1/2 cup tapioca flour





1/2 scoop Salted Maca Caramel PERFORM

1 tsp baking powder





1 tsp organic maca powder

1/2 cup plain soya or coconut yoghurt



1/4 cup dark chocolate chips



Splash of vanilla extract



3/4 cup of almond milk



METHOD:

1) Sift the flours, PERFORM, baking powder and maca into a small bowl.

2) In a separate bowl mix the yogurt, almond milk and vanilla until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and whisk thoroughly. (You may need to add a little more almond milk if the mixture appears to be too thick.)

3) Stir in the chocolate chips and allow the batter to sit for about five minutes. Grease a non-stick pan with a small amount of coconut oil and add about ¼ cup of batter at a time.

4) Cook for about three minutes before flipping, and then a further one to two minutes on the other side. Repeat until all the batter has been used up.

5) Serve warm with all of your favourite toppings!
