Strawberry Shortcake Protein Pancakes

In continuation of my waffle/pancake attempts.. I tried a new one this morning! Strawberry Shortcake  flavored! OMGGG, such a good choice on my part :p 

First I tried them in my waffle maker.. I was hesitant because the mix was super liquid-y but I figured wharves that's what the recipe says! Well.. here's how it turned out. 

Okay soo then I whipped out my pancake for beginners, if you will.. because like i said in my last post i just can NOT nail the pancake making and flipping on my own. 

This is a Bobby Flay pan from Kohl's I bought when I still worked there.. i wish though that the circles were bigger.. so I may have to do some Amazon shopping for a bigger pancake circle dealy. If anyone has any recommendations.. do share! 

The recipe I used was from a gal I follow on Instagram as of late, and love! She has been such an inspiration and posts the most amazinnggg waffles and pancakes and protein yogurt deals! I just bought her E-Book on flexible dieting i'm excited to receive! 

For the batter... 

1/2 cup plain non fat greek yogurt 

1 scoop strawberry protein powder (minus 1-2 TBSP) 

3 Egg whites 

2 tbsp coconut flour 

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk 

1/4 cup rolled oats 

For the topping... 

1-2 TBSP Strawberry Protein Powder 

2-3 TBSP plain non fat greek yogurt

splash of almond milk 

1 packet stevia 

You can play around with the topping mixture to get the consistency you like.. next time i'll add more of each to make a little more to cover all the pancakes. Then I added 1/2 cup strawberries and 1/2 cup raspberries and topped with 3 TBSP on whip cream 

I thought it tasted just like Strawberry Shortcake!!!!! 

Let me know if you tried it! 

Cinnamon Pumpkin Protein Pancakes

Tis the season, for pumpkin everything! 

Last year was my first year that I actually got into the pumpkin trend..I mean I went all out last year. Though I'm not even a huge fan of the PSL. I had to swoop up some canned pumpkin and make some waffles! I picked up a waffle maker because i swear I don't know how to make pancakes... I can never flip them good and they become a mess. My first time making waffles turned out good.. my second time BAD. I feel like it's a hit or miss.. but making protein waffles/pancakes are so key and have such good maces, and you can make them in so many different ways! 

Here's the recipe I used! 

For the pancakes it's... 

1/2 cup oats chopped

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 scoop of whey protein powder (I strongly recommend cinnamon protein) 

2 egg whites

1/2 c almond milk

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp stevia

( I blended the ingredients in my nutri-bullet) 

Then the topping is : 

1/2 c Greek yogurt

1/4 c almond milk

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

Next time I'll probably only use 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup for the topping, it was a little too much. Then I just threw on 2 tbls of lite whip cream! 

Let me know if you give them a try! I'll be trying all sorts of waffle & Pancake recipes and will share results on my blog!
