Gluten-Free Chocolate Protein Pancakes

A constant battle that some of us face is getting to indulge on occasion while meeting our daily macro requirements. Pancakes are a great vehicle to meet some of your nutritional goals. You can add almost anything to your batter such as flax and chia seeds. This recipe is packed with protein and collagen which both help provide building blocks for your healthy skin, hair, nails, and muscles.

Recipe: Blend 1 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop collagen, 4 eggs, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 2 bananas, and 1/4 cup cocoa. Combine until smooth and lumps are gone. Add 1/4 cup batter to the greased pan on medium-low heat. Cook until bubbles start to form, about 2 minutes, before flipping to the other stick. Stack on top of a paper towel. Once complete, transfer to plate and drizzled melted chocolate mixed with a bit of heavy cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
