Protein Pancakes

Hello 2018! 

I'm back and with a healthy recipe! Pancakes are my favorite and I didn't want to give up my favorite breakfast food to compensate my new healthy lifestyle goals (7 pounds down by the way!). So after a few trial runs, I have found a delicious and filling pancake to satisfy my breakfast sweet tooth cravings! I usually make these on Sunday and refrigerate them to eat throughout the week for breakfast. They also freeze great if you want to make a giant batch! Just simply reheat in the microwave and the chocolate chips will get all melty and gooey. Yum! Let me know in the comments your favorite healthy breakfast food!
