Vanilla Almond Protein Pancakes

One of my favorite extracts to use is almond extract. Love the nutty, warm flavor! These were so fluffy :)

Also, don't let the cauliflower scare you! It makes the pancakes more moist and cake-like! You can omit if you don't have any, but I highly recommend it.

                              

Vanilla Almond Protein Pancakes 

3/4 scoop Vanilla protein powder (I use Cellucor Whipped Vanilla)

2 tablespoons oatmeal

2 tablespoons coconut flour 

1/2 tablespoon psyllium husk

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 stevia packet 

1/3 cup riced cauliflower 

3 tablespoons egg whites 

3 tablespoons Greek yogurt 

1/3 cup almond milk 

Splash of almond extract (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Directions: 

1. Preheat a large non stick pan over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. 

 2. Place cauliflower in a food processor and finely chop. Place in a bowl and microwave 40 seconds.

3. Add all ingredients including the cauliflower to your food processor. Blend until smooth.

4. Add pancake batter to your pan by the spoonful. Cook until edges set and then flip. Be patient! They are thick and take longer than regular pancakes. Once you flip, cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Serve with your favorite toppings/fillings!

Almond Banana Protein Pancakes

Warm, fluffy, and thick pancakes with the perfect hint of banana flavor. This is one of those recipes I go back to again and again. Perfect every time!

Almond Banana Protein Pancakes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup oatmeal
2 tablespoons almond flour
2 tablespoons vanilla whey protein
1/2 tablespoon psyllium husk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 ounces banana (about half a medium banana)
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons egg whites
1/2 teaspoon butter extract (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
2. Blend your oats into flour (I use my Ninja food processor).
3. Add the remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly.
4. Add a spoonful of batter to the pan at a time. Flip when the edges set and the pancakes start to form small bubbles.
5. Eat!

I like layering mine with sliced banana and PB2, or Greek yogurt sweetened with stevia.
