Vanilla Protein Pancakes

These are the fluffiest and most delicious pancakes that I have ever tasted. I love experimenting with ways to healthify recipes and this turned out better than I could imagine. Aloha’s vanilla protein powder is plant based, high in omega-3’s, magnesium, iron and has 18g of protein per serving! These pancakes will fill you up without filling you out. Make sure to separate the egg whites from the yolks and follow the steps below to ensure they turn out super fluffy. Enjoy!
