Pancakes!!! (yummy healthy ones)

Gluten Free 5 Ingredient Protein Pancakes

If you want something that’s fast, easy, delicious and actually keeps you full all morning long these pancakes are for you! I’m always looking for ways to add more protein to my diet, and by switching cereals and toast out for these cakes, I’m off to a good start. I really like Brown Rice Protein, it digests much better than whey, a protein delivered from cow’s milk cheese.

I also love that you can make extra pancakes, put them in a little Pyrex container and have them as a healthy power snack throughout the day.

Since we are making healthy pancakes here, swap out the maple syrup, for 1 or 2 chunks of dark chocolate,  you can mix the chocolate into the batter or just place it on top of the pancake once you’ve started to cook them.

 Add some fresh fruit and an iced coffee, perfection!

 I use:

Recipe:

2 heaping scoops  of your favorite protein powder.

1 heaping tbsp your favorite gluten free pancake mix

Stir together.

1 banana

1/4 c egg whites

3 tbsp almond milk

Whiz the above ingredients in a magic buller or blender. Slowly add to dry ingredients, add more milk if its too dry to make a thick, almost pourable texture. Add more protein if too runny. You want fairly thick pancakes. Preheat a non stick frying pan on medium low with a tsp of coconut oil. Add a scoop of batter to pan, cook as many as you want, you can store the leftover batter in the fridge. Cook until edges look cooked, then carefully flip for another minute or two.
