Skinny recipe #11 Protein pancakes

Hello!
 

OH.MY.GOODNESS
 
I didn't really realise what I was letting myself in for when I made these this morning, but they are the best oh-so-tasty breakfast I have eaten in some time!
 
They're lower calorie than regular 'american' or 'scotch' pancakes and taste ten times better.
 
Here's how you make them!
 
You will need (pancakes):
1/4 cup Vanilla Whey protein - you can use any flavour you fancy
1/4 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
170g low fat greek yogurt
1 large egg white
Non/low calorie Cooking spray or butter & a little oil
 
For the toppings:
Handful of pecans
Sweet freedom (dark)
1/4 Pineapple (fresh)
Cinnamon (to taste)
 
Method:
 
 
Mix together the wet ingredients and in a seperate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients
 
 
 
Slowly add the dry to the wet mixture a little at a time, combining well each time.
 
Put to one side and prepare your pineapple by cutting it up into chunks.
Sprinkle over some cinnamon - as much or as little as you like - I used 1 tsp.
 
 
 
Add your choice of oil to a pan, heat up and add the pineapple.
Cook until golden and put to one side.
 
 
In another pan, heat your choice of oil and using a tablespoon, add three blobs of the batter. Not too close though as they will spread out.
 
 
As soon as bubbles form, it's time to flip. Flip over and cook for a minute or so.
 
 
Serve with your pineapple, pecans (which you can toast if you fancy) and a generous squeeze of sweet freedom.
 
 
Eat.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Minus the toppings - calories: 314, carbs: 34g, fat: 1g & protein: 43g!

You can add whatever protein powder or toppings you have/like. You could add strawberries, walnuts, banana.... the possibilites are endless.
 
Let me know if you make these - they're great pre or post workout.
