Recipes

 Let's share!

This weekend we tried a recipe I found here for flourless blueberry pancakes.

I modified the recipe a smidge when I made them yesterday.  I added a pinch of salt and used peanut butter instead of almond butter.  Also instead of using honey or maple syrup on top, I sautéed up some fresh berries with a little coconut oil. Oh, and I think the recipe said med-high heat...definitely burned the first two...so medium ended up being a good temp.

They were yummy (Michael approved too)!  It only made 5 pancakes though. (3 for Michael and 2 for me).  I scrambled up some eggs to eat on the side, so I could get my protein in.  

Made it again this morning, but tweaked it again in a different way so it would produce more pancakes and I wanted more protein.  I didn't want to just double the recipe as one whole banana and a 1/4 cup of peanut butter seemed like a lot for one serving.  So I added two extra eggs (three total) and a scoop of chocolate protein powder.  They were a little thinner than yesterdays and harder to flip, but they turned out pretty tasty too.  I might up the vanilla extract next time and maybe two pinches of salt.  This batch yielded 9 pancakes.  Michael and I had 4.5 pancakes each, which had a total of about 21 grams of protein for each of our servings.
