Easy to Make Protein Pancakes

This recipe is a simple but equally delicious alternative to traditional pancakes. It is low-fat and protein-packed with healthy ingredients that won’t make you feel guilty. On top that, it takes no more that half an hour to prepare. This serves two people with around six pancakes in total. Enjoy!

Ingredients you will need:

• 1 cup of soy/almond/oat milk or regular skim milk.

• 1 scoop/30g of protein powder (I use New Zealand Whey Isolate).

• 3 cups of oatmeal.

• 1 medium sized banana.

• 1 egg (you can bypass if you want to make it vegetarian/vegan).

• 1 tablespoon of organic peanut/almond butter.

• 1 cup of mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries).

• 1 tablespoon of honey.

Preparation instructions:

1. Place the milk, oatmeal, banana, egg, and peanut butter into a blender.

2. Blend until it has a medium thick consistency. If it is too liquid, add more oatmeal until you reach a medium thick consistency.

3. Heat up a small non-stick pan in medium heat.

4. Pour about a fist size amount of the pancake mix into the pan. This will be for one pancake. Leave about a minute on one side then flip for another minute on the other side, until golden brown.

5. Stack pancakes on a plate.

6. Add honey and mixed berries on top, as desired.

Possible substitutes:

• If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can substitute the whey protein for a pea/soy/hemp/rice protein powder. You can also bypass the egg.

• You can substitute the honey for a low calorie or calorie-free maple syrup or jam.

• You can add other fruits of your choice.
