These chocolate protein pancakes are the perfect breakfast for chocoholics! I love chocolate and pancakes so wanted to come up with a clean and healthy recipe that combined both of these things. They are naturally low FODMAP, coeliac friendly, dairy free, refined sugar free and high protein! To make things even better they are freezable and taste great when reheated if you are after a quick breakfast for children.
