    Pancakes are quite possibly the greatest way to start your day.

    I've been crushing on protein pancakes for the past 5 years and have made them in tons of flavors ~ blueberry, pumpkin, funfetti, cinnamon roll, berries & cream, bananas foster, bacon, and carrot cake. I pretty much eat them every morning.

    Obviously, it was time to make some to celebrate Valentine's Day!

    I love that these protein pancakes don't require strange ingredients. No need to buy protein powder; you'll get tons of protein from the eggs and the cottage cheese.

    Before you think I'm crazy, I want you to know that these pancakes are incredible. Every single person that makes and/or tries them falls in love.

    No one ever accuses me of making their pancakes taste like miserable diet food, and they always feel excited when I tell them about the nourishing benefits these pancakes have to offer (whole grain, filling, high in protein, very satisfying, and completely delicious)!

    Truth be told, I am a terrible pancake-maker. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make a batch of pancakes pretty. The first 3 pancakes are either overcooked or look weird. Then you have a few oddly shaped ones or ones that are out of proportion to the size of the others. And finally I get it right on the last two.

    The best way to remedy that (other than just making oven baked pancakes which is the greatest thing to happen to mornings since sliced bread) is to create a sauce.

    Since it's Valentine's Day around the corner, I decided a red raspberry sauce would be the perfect pair with these tasty chocolate pancakes.

    The recipe makes a batch enough to serve 4 - about 8 pancakes + 1/2 cup sauce total. That means everyone gets 2 pancakes and 2 tablespoons of sauce which I found to be more than enough (it's pretty sweet! Use less honey if you don't want it to be too sweet).

    These pancakes freeze well and are easy to reheat in the microwave or in a skillet. I love making a big batch and reheating in the morning for a quick, satisfying, and filling breakfast. When I say filling, I mean filling. These things keep me full for hours!

    So share these with a friend, significant other, or anyone you love! Or just make a batch for yourself and enjoy!

    These chocolate protein pancakes covered in raspberry sauce are special enough for a holiday morning but nutritious enough for a normal day.

    Ingredients

    For the raspberry sauce:

    • 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1 TBSP lemon juice
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    • pinch salt

    For the chocolate protein pancakes:

    • 1 cup oats old fashioned or quick
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/8 tsp salt
    • 3 TBSP cocoa powder
    • 1 cup cottage cheese
    • 4 large eggs
    • 2 TBSP maple syrup

    Instructions

    For the sauce:

    • Add all the ingredients to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes on high. Stir well and microwave another 2 minutes. Stir and set aside to thicken.

    For the pancakes:

    • Add oats, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder to a food processor or blender. Process for about 30 seconds.
    • Add cottage cheese, eggs, and maple syrup to the food processor and process until incorporated. Stir and process another 30 seconds to make sure everything is completely combined. Let sit for a few minutes while you preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Transfer about 1/4 cup pancake batter to preheated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form and it easily releases from skillet. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until done. Repeat with remaining batter.
    • Enjoy pancakes topped with raspberry sauce and butter, if desired

    Notes

    *Use old fashioned or quick oats. Do not use instant oats or steel cut oats.
    *One cup of raspberries is about 1/2 of a 6 oz. container
    *You can use maple syrup or honey, depending on personal preference in the pancakes and the sauce. I prefer maple syrup in the pancakes and honey in the sauce, but it's up to you to decide.
