I finally got back from California earlier this week after having an awesome vacation filled with lot’s of cycling. I was there for junior nationals. The races didn’t go as well as I would have liked. It was tough going from almost sea level to nearly 7,000 feet of elevation. But anyway, my first recipe since being back is this delicious stack of chocolate coconut protein pancakes. I really missed having pancakes while I was gone. I think I went over 2 weeks without having any pancakes!

I have taken the past couple days off the bike to recover after some really tough racing. It has been kind of nice. I didn’t wake up until almost noon today, then I immediately made some pancakes. I was looking through my website and saw that I haven’t made chocolate coconut flavored pancakes before so that was the flavor I decided to go with. As you already probably know, I absolutely love chocolate and coconut together.

For the pancakes, I pretty much did my normal recipe for protein pancakes. I used MusclePharm chocolate milk combat powder and cocoa powder to make them chocolate. I also added coconut extract to give them the coconut flavor. 

The pancakes were layered with coconut Greek yogurt. I just used a container that is already flavored from the grocery. You could also use plain Greek yogurt and add coconut extract and stevia. After layering the pancakes with the yogurt, I topped them with shredded coconut. Then I drizzled them with melted Amber Lyn sugar free dark chocolate chunks. I could eat a whole bag of that chocolate. It is amazing!
