Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes

Double Chocolate Protein Pancakes 



Ingredients:

-1/2 cup finely chopped zucchini (I chop it in my Ninja Food Processor)
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 2 tablespoons chocolate whey protein powder (I use Cellucor)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 egg whites
- 1 packet stevia
- unsweetened almond milk, as needed

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Add enough almond milk to keep a thick batter.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Once hot, add about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cover and cook until the edges set. Flip, and cook until done (about another 3-5 minutes).

Top with your favorite toppings! I love Greek yogurt and peanut butter :)

Whipped Vanilla Protein Cake

Moist, fluffy, delicious cake. Need I say more? Threw this together for my sister, but totally stole a piece for tasting purposes. Probably my best cake ever. And it's so simple to make!

I buy my flours and stevia online from Vitacost. It's an online grocery store that has so many fun, healthy ingredients. Here's a discount link for money off your first order: 



Whipped Vanilla Protein Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Cellucor Whipped Vanilla protein powder (or other vanilla whey)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 packets stevia
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups almond milk (I used unsweetened vanilla)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a loaf pan or square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Blend all ingredients together in a large food processor or blender. Make sure you don't over mix! I like to stir the bottom with a spatula to make sure the dry ingredients don't stick and clump at the bottom in between mixing.
3. Add to your loaf pan or baking dish. Cook about 30-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean. For the frosting, I just mixed together Greek yogurt with vanilla casein. Casein protein makes the greek yogurt thicker and more frosting-like. If you only have whey protein, that's fine too!
