SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (40 grams) vanilla, cinnamon, or maple protein powder
- 1/4 cup baked, mashed (or pureed) sweet potato or pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 to 4-plus tablespoons water
Directions
- Throw everything into a blender or food processor until well blended.
- Heat a pancake griddle to medium heat, and make sure it's ready by dripping a little water on it to see if it sizzles.
- Spray the griddle with cooking spray, and scoop pancakes on the pan 2 tablespoons at a time (I just use a 1/4 measuring cup and pour half of it out.) If the griddle is the right temperature, about 30 seconds per side should be about right, but watch closely!
- Serve hot, with some berry compote (just heat up 1/4 cup frozen berries), a little light agave syrup (my suggestion would be a good calorie-reduced version), or a bit of light aerosol whipped cream.
Fire up the griddle and dish out these healthy sweet potato pancakes for a protein-packed breakfast.
