Protein Pancakes – Recipe

Protein pancakes are really a luxury to me right now, I made them more when I was back at home in East London for the holidays, the ones I made were mainly for bulking and having some high protein food. The protein pancakes require very little ingredients, but can be very filling and they taste great.
