Peanut Butter Banana Waffles

When I woke up today, my stomach wasn't feeling 100%. I decided to forgo the protein powder that I usually use at breakfast for this reason (just in case it made my stomach worse!). As horrible as it is to have a stomach ache, I'm happy that it forced me to make a protein powder free, and therefore, kid friendly waffle recipe! These waffles are also gluten-free and dairy-free, and packed with protein from the peanut flour I used. These flours may sound foreign, but they are available at great prices from Vitacost (discount off your first order included in the link!).

Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes

Who doesn't love a classic PB and J?! I could have one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Never gets old. So here's my pancake version for a fun, delicious, and healthy breakfast!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein
Pancakes

Ingredients for Pancakes:

2 tablespoons almond flour 
2 tablespoons peanut flour
2 tablespoons Cellucor's Peanut Butter Marshmallow Whey Protein (or any)
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons liquid egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any)
1/2 tablespoon psyllium husk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the "Jelly":

1/4 cup berries of choice

Directions:

1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
2. Place all pancake ingredients in a food processor or blender (I use a Ninja food processor) until combined.
3. Add batter by the spoonful to the pan. Cook until edges set and bubbles start to form. Flip. Cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
4. To make the jelly, place your berries in a small bowl. If you use strawberries, slice them into 3-4 pieces. Heat in the microwave about 20-25 seconds or until they begin to soften.
5. Layer pancakes with your homemade jelly and peanut butter of choice!
