It is only Tuesday, but it has already felt like a long week. I had a very tiring weekend of bike races in Vermont, and just got back at around 3 am this morning. Luckily I made these delicious double chocolate pretzel protein pancakes before I left.

Pretzels and chocolate together is really addicting. Of course, I always talk about how obsessed I am with chocolate, but when you pair it with pretzels. Wow. The sweet and salty combo is amazing. I really went all out with the chocolate in these pancakes too. From the chocolate pancakes, the chocolate whipped cream, and the chocolate peanut butter, I think I pretty much got it covered.

I used my chocolate MusclePharm combat powder in the pancakes. It is by far the best tasting chocolate protein powder I have used. It is actually the chocolate milk flavor, and when you mix it with milk, it tastes better than regular chocolate milk.

I layered each of the pancakes with chocolate whipped cream. I got the whipped cream quite a while ago when I saw it in the store and had never opened it. I can’t believe I waited so long, because it is delicious. Then I drizzled the pancakes with some chocolate peanut butter and topped it all off with some crushed pretzels.
