Today we're sharing another recipe created by Katy from the AEN Team ~ Chocolate Protein Pancake Bars!
If you love protein pancakes but you don't have the time to make them everyday, then this recipe is for you.
It takes our classic protein pancake recipe for inspiration and turns it into bars that can easily be prepped on the weekend and reheated for break-fast throughout the week.
Because these protein pancakes are baked, Katy described the texture as fluffy and "cake-like".
Key Ingredients:
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is very rich in high quality protein to help turn on satiety hormones and reduce hunger. When you use full-fat cottage cheese, it's also an excellent source of vitamin K2, which is very important for getting calcium out of the arteries and into the bones.
My Chocolate Protein Powder
My zero sugar Chocolate Protein Powder adds a hint of sweetness without any sugar by using 100% monk fruit (no sugar alcohols or stevia!).
Plus, we only use 100% whey protein isolate which is the lowest lactose form of whey protein.

Eggs
We stand by the fact that eggs are a superfood. Not only are they rich in protein and high quality fat, but it's also an excellent source of choline, which is needed for brain and liver health.
In fact, just 3 eggs covers most people's daily choline needs!
