Buttermilk Pancakes

Dirty Little Secret
There is no hiding it. It was getting out of control. The truth is we were going though boxes of Chocolate Kodiak Protein Pancake Mix. It was silly. Late night craving? Chocolate Pancakes. Early morning work out? Chocolate Pancakes. Don't feel like cooking? Chocolate Pancakes. Topped with only whipped cream, it was our dirty little secret. Mike would even some time just mix up the batter and eat it from a cup (seriously). So here is a way to make it without spending out the wazoo for boxes of premade mix. Don't judge us people, you have your dirty little secret too. 
Ingredients
​ Dry Stuff
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 4 1/2 tsp buttermilk powder (optional) or 1/2 cup can't tell yet.
  • 1 cup whey protein isolate (chocolate)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ​Some mini chocolate chips for good luck​

 Wet stuff
  • 1 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 egg
Directions
  1. In a blender or food processor, pulse the oats until you get a flour texture
  2. Wish together the oat flour (1/2 cup) with the rest of the dry ingredients until combined.
  3. Mix in the wet stuff, the cook it!
  4. Serve with whip cream, no syrup.  Syrup is bad for you, it's just liquid sugar.  Whip cream is good for you, it's liquid happiness in a semi-solid state. 
    1. Note: If Madeline eats all the whip cream, and there is none left for your, then that is your fault for not hiding back up whip cream somewhere else in your kitchen. 
  5. 1 cup dry mix + 1/2 cup water or milk = 6 medium pancakes....add the egg for more protein!
