Perfect Protein Pancakes

There are a lot of different recipes out there for protein pancakes, I’ve tried so many of them and having combined a few I personally think these are by far the best and everyone I've gave the recipe to agrees! 

Ingredients-

40g-60g oats

5/6 egg whites

12g Almond nuts

2g splenda/sweetener

2ml vanilla flavouring

5 g Cocoa (I used Hersey’s unsweetened cocoa)

20g Protein Powder (I used Choc Cookie flavour from Bodybuilding warehouse)

50 frozen berries (I used 50g blueberries)

Low cal spray oil/Coconut Oil

*Amounts and some ingredients can be changed to fit your own dietary macros or simply to your own personal taste. (Serves 5-7 pancakes)

Firstly make sure you weight everything out, if you haven't got a decent set of scales now is the time to get some, especially if you want to take your nutrition and diet seriously. Add 150ml of water to the oats in a bowl and cook in the microwave until all the water is absorbed. 

While the oats are cooking blend the almonds then add the oats, egg whites, flavouring, berries, whey protein, sweetener and cocoa then add all to the mix.

Blend until everything is mixed up, you should be left with quite a thick milkshake like consistency.

Spray a frying pan with the low cal spray, once the pan is very hot pour your desired amount into the pan and spread by tilting the pan around. Flip the pancake or turn over with a spatula is you don’t have the skills!

Repeat until all the mix is gone and add whatever topping/sauce you want providing its within your diet. (Here’s some suggestions- sliced banana, berries/blueberries, natural honey, peanut butter (no additives) , 90% cocoa dark chocolate Lindt square or ANY Walden Farms sauces as they’re calorie free, sugar free, carb fee and fat free and come in so many different flavours like chocolate, pancake syrup, blueberry and more) 

Here's my finished pancakes, I topped them with natural peanut butter and also broke up 1 square of Lindt 90% cocoa which as you can see melted perfectly and tasted great!

I've been dying to have these for breakfast all week but I'm holding out until Friday for my Birthday Breakfast!
