Sunday morning, I woke up in the mood for pancakes. However, I knew that I needed some protein. And thus began my on-going dilemma that I have had for awhile, guys. You see, I have read Julie's blog for a long time, now- & she always snaps pictures of her breakfasts. These breakfasts often include homemade protein pancakes that look delicious, but seem a little odd.
To put it simply- I have always been scared to try protein pancakes. But Sunday morning, I made the plunge. Let me tell you, guys, these pancakes were the most amazing food I have ever eaten. Ever.
I used the base of Julie's recipe, but added my own twist to the mix. Here is what I came up with:
~Apple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes~
Ingredients:
- 2 scoops of Vanilla Muscle Milk Powder
- 1/2 cup of Cottage Cheese
- 3 Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of Plain Oatmeal
- 1 Medium Apple- cut up
- 1 tbsp. of Cinnamon
Directions:
- Pour eggs, cottage cheese, protein powder, & oatmeal into a blender and puree.
- Spray a pan with canola oil and pour 1/2 of the pancake batter onto the pan
- Cook on medium heat each side for 2-3 minutes
- Top with half the cut up apple and cinnamon
- Enjoy!
Makes 6 hearty pancakes for 3 people.
To say I really enjoyed these pancakes would be an understatement! I absolutely, positively am obssesed with how amazingly wonderful these protein pancakes were! I wish I could make some for all of you and send you them over the internet… but I don't think there is the technology for that at this point of exsistance. Still- I encourage you to try this recipe, or augment it to your liking!
My Question For You Is..
- Have you ever tried protein pancakes?
- Assuming that you like pancakes (because everyone does
), what is your favorite kind?
See ya~ Kay
