Protein Pancakes

In our home, Sunday mornings are reserved for big breakfasts, which usually means PANCAKES! I recently experimented with a gluten-free, high protein pancake recipe and the result was quite delicious. Try 'em this Sunday for yourself.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of almond meal
• 1 scoop of unflavored protein powder (I use Now Foods Whey Protein Isolate)
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp honey

Directions:

• Mix all of the ingredients together.
• Warm pan at medium heat. Cover the inside of the pan with cooking spray.
• Pour in batter and cook for a few minutes on each side.

Top with fresh berries, honey, real maple syrup (please, not high fructose corn syrup). My favorite topping is a bowl of frozen blueberries, heated in the microwave until they are warm. So good!
