Protein Packed Pancakes

This is a great recipe for anyone who strength trains and needs extra protein in their diet. I found this in Oxygen Magazine, it was submitted by a reader. I lost it once, and now that I've found it again I must post it! I have only used vanilla protein powder, as it's what I have, and it's wonderful!
