Tiramisu Protein Pancakes

Low on carbs, low on fat, but high on that protein! You can always add some protein powder for that extra spike if you feel you need it. Most of us don't get enough protein simply due to a lack of knowledge- did you know an adult should consume 0.36 grams of protein per pound? This means an average person weighing 180 Ibs should consume about 65 gr (2.2 oz.) of protein per day! 

 

Starting the morning with a protein-rich meal is a great way to enjoy an energy surge and remain full well until lunchtime.

Ingredients for pancakes:  

Ground flaxseed - 8 tbsp. (alternative: 4 tbsp. psyllium husk) 

 

Almond milk - 4 cups 

 

Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp. (alternative: rum extract) 

 

Flour - 2 cups 

 

Cocoa powder - 4 tbsp. 

 

Coffee - 1 tbsp. 

 

Baking powder - 4 tsp. 

 

Cooking spray - as needed 

 

Ingredients for topping cream: 

Yogurt - 3 cups (can be soy) 

 

Honey - 2 tsp. (alternative: stevia) 

 

Chocolate sauce - as needed (optional) 

 

Strawberries - as needed (optional) 

 

Method of preparing the pancakes: 

 

Whisk together the flaxseed, almond milk and vanilla extract. Set aside and let thicken. 

 

In a separate bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, coffee and baking powder. 

 

You can also add 2 scoops of protein powder. Now fold in the flaxseed mix. 

 

Heat a cooking-spray-coated pan over medium-low heat. Using 1/3 cup quantities at a time, pour in the pancake mix and cover with a lid. Cook each side until the sides firm up. 

 

To serve, whip the yogurt and honey and top the pancakes. You can also add chocolate sauce or strawberries.
