Usually, I am not a very big fan of raspberries. Of all the berries out there, raspberries would normally be my last choice. I have come to really enjoy them quite a bit recently. Whether it is in my morning oatmeal, in pancakes, or in a bowl of yogurt, I eat them all the time now! I’m not sure what caused the change of heart, but I am sure glad it did.

Since I am leaving tonight for a couple of bike races that I have in New York this weekend, I decided it was a necessity to have a stack of pancakes before I go. I guess to me, it is pretty much always a necessity to have pancakes, but this time even more so since I’ll be gone for a few days.

I got my package from Musclepharm this month and it had their new white chocolate raspberry combat protein bars. I had been dying to taste them and use them in a recipe. I started thinking, about what kind of pancakes to make and then it hit me. Duh. Why not make white chocolate raspberry protein pancakes? 

These pancakes were probably some of the best I have made. Not only because of the flavor, but because of the awesome fluffy and moist texture they had. I added frozen raspberries into the pancake batter, and then I topped them with even more raspberries. For the raspberries on top, I heated them in the microwave with a couple tablespoons of maple syrup and then mashed them together.

Since no good meal is complete without chocolate, I added white chocolate coconut butter and melted white chocolate on top. The white chocolate coconut butter I used was from Sweet Spreads, and the white chocolate I melted on top was Amber Lyn sugar free white chocolate.

After adding the melted chocolate and coconut butter on top, I chopped up a white chocolate raspberry combat bar and added it on. These pancakes were seriously an explosion of flavor in my mouth!
