Okay, well I'm over it. Enough complaining on my part, I only have like a week left to endure and it'll all be over before I know it! And quite frankly, it's not even really that bad. Sometimes I need to experience these lows to just shake myself out of it and tell myself to hustle through. Anyways, its a start of a new week (kind-of) and once my newfound energy channeled in, I decided to get creative.
I've been wanting pancakes and I've been literally seeing pancakes everywhere on Instagram; so why not make these hotcakes?! Oh and I needed to add in some protein as this was my post-workout meal so I incorporated some protein powder for them gainz (totally kidding, but not really).
As you probably already know, the typical fluffy buttermilk pancakes require a lot of butter and flour. So I actually replaced a few of these ingredients with some healthier alternatives which did change the overall texture just a bit, but it still tastes pretty damn good.
Here's what you'll need:
1/2 cup oatmeal "flour" (blended oatmeal)
1/2 cup almond milk
2 tbsp of chocolate protein powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp of baking powder
Pinch of salt
Blend/mix all of these ingredients together to make your batter. Heat and spray a nonstick pan on medium heat. Pour in 1/4 cup increments of your batter and allow for it to cook (about 1-2 min) until it bubbles up. Flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Recipe should make 4-5 pancakes! Top with chocolate syrup, bananas, granola, coconut flakes or any other toppings of your choice.
Enjoy,
Theresa
