Don't Look At Me Like That! Flour Free Protein Pancakes!!

Today's post is dedicated to a dear friend of mine. My friend (who will remain nameless b/c I am not sure she would like me calling her out in front of everyone-but you know who you are) is currently on a awesome quest to lose about 50 pounds. Her diet calls for no pasta, no bread- pretty much no flour. We were talking the other day and I start pulling up some of my clean recipes for things. She graciously took them but she was kind of looking at me like I was talking gibberish, crazy talk ( I still love you though!). SOO... being the helpful friend I am I have decided to post a flour free, but still pretty darn good pancake recipe! This recipe Is different than my signature protein pancake recipe (and the lucky few that have that recipe will notice a few things missing) but I want to prove that you don't need those things to make it good. So, introducing-Greek yogurt stuffed protein pancakes!

Here is what you'll need:

• 1 scoop Optimum Nutrition French Vanilla Creme Whey
• 1/2 cup Fage 0% Greek Yogurt (Plain)
• 3 tbsp blueberries, or strawberries or banana (whatever fruit you'd like or none at all-your choice)
• 1/4 cup egg substitute, shake it up first
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Unsweetened Almond Milk, MAYBE 1-2tbsp
• Spray butter
• sugar free maple flavored syrup

1. Preheat a well sprayed nonstick skillet to medium
2. mix 1/2 the yogurt and egg whites together
3. add the protein powder and baking powder
4. mix-IF the batter seems too thick then add a little almond milk
5. pour onto hot skillet, should make 2 medium sized pancakes
6. while they are cooking on the first side mix the remaining yogurt with the berries, set aside.
7. flip the pancakes and cook (don't overcook or they will be too dry, they will be done very quickly so watch them)
8. Pull the pancakes off the skillet and top one with the yogurt/berry mix and top that with the other pancake and mash down a bit. Spray the butter on top and use the sugar free syrup!
9. Enjoy!!

** my pancakes were a LITTLE dry- maybe a little more egg sub or cooking a little less time. Just keep it in mind!**
