Peanut Butter Protein Pancakes


Need I say more?  Peanut Butter + Pancake= Pure bliss.  I top these with Walden Farms calorie free syrup, and breakfast is my favorite meal :)  Here's my recipe!  

Serves: 1
Calories: 252 (with 1/3 C oat flour) 

Ingredients:
1/3 or 1/2 C oat flour (depending on your meal plan and nutritional goals-they turn out great either way)
1/2 scoop Isopure zero carb vanilla whey (or protein powder of your choice)
3 Tbsp PB2 (I order mine from netrition.com)
2 Tbsp Stevia in the Raw
1 tsp Truvia
approx. 1 tsp baking powder 
1/4 tsp salt (do not omit)
2 egg whites
Enough water to make your batter pour into the pan, but not too runny. Add, stir, add stir, until it's right.

Directions:

Heat a medium sized frying pan to medium heat.  Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl, and mix well.  Add the egg whites, stir, and then add some water.  I just put my bowl under the running water for a sec, stir, add more if needed until I get the consistency right.  You'll get really good at it.   Once your batter is ready to go, spray your pan with cooking spray (I use homemade coconut oil spray, works great!).  Pour half the batter in the pan.  Let it cook until it bubbles and starts to almost lift on the edges.  Flip and repeat (my batter makes two medium size pancakes).  Easy enough?  Try these!  You won't be sorry.  

P.S.  Who says these have to be stuck in the breakfast category??  I often make them for an additional meal in the day somewhere.  For my husband, I use weight gainer or more protein powder and a whole egg vs. egg whites, because his nutritional goals are different than mine. These are so versatile!  Try adding chocolate chips if you want an extra sweet touch, or if you're eating them on the go without syrup!  Mmm..
