Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes

Who said Valentine's Day wasn't about self-love?

I unfortunately had my three-hour night class on Valentine's Day, but decided to make myself a cutesie little macro-friendly valentine's day treat all for myself.

I love having kodiak cakes on hand whenever I need the extra carbs and protein for a macro cap. I didn't feel like making smaller pancakes so I made one giant one and it was honestly so much better that way. I would say this recipe yields about 4-5 medium sized pancakes.

Next time, you're looking for a high-protein sweet treat to start your day or end your night, try this pancake recipe!
