Dark Chocolate Walnut Protein Pancakes

Last night the hubs (aka my husband, Rudy) and I had a wonderful spa date.  During the drive home, feeling cleansed and rejuvenated, I shared with Ru that I looked forward to going home and having some echinacea tea or green juice to continue the cleanse.  Upon arriving, I darted to the pantry for the Ghirardelli bittersweet morsels and made these instead!  LOL!  Bad girl!  Loving my pancakes!

Dark Chocolate Walnut Protein Pancakes

1/3 Cup of Ground Oats

1 Tablespoon of Wheat Germ

1/2 Scoop Vanilla Creme Proto Whey

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder

Dash of Sea Salt

1 Teaspoon Stevia

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 Egg White

3-4 Tablespoons Water

8  60% Cacao Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Morsels

1 Tablespoon of Chopped Walnuts

In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients together (with exception of nuts and chocolate chips). When completely mixed, add egg whites, water and extract.

If you need to, add a little more water or almond milk to make more pliable. I personally prefer to just use water as I don't see the need for the additional calories as the water does the trick.

When you have a nice pancake batter consistency, fold in your morsels and nuts.

Preheat a medium non stick skillet lightly coated with Pam. Use a tablespoon to spoon batter in pan. It takes approximately 2 tablespoons to make 3 silver dollar pancakes.

These are super yummy!
