Sweet Potato Pancakes

Mmm... I love pancakes! This recipe is great if you are in the mood for a sweet treat.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked sweet potatoes
1/3 cup egg beaters (or 2 eggs)
1/4 cup oat flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 tsp honey
cinnamon (as much as you like)

Directions:

I like to microwave my sweet potatoes in order to cook them quickly.  I wash & dry them, poke holes in them, microwave for about 5 minutes and then flip and microwave for 5 minutes on the other side.

While they are microwaving, blend 1/4 cup of oatmeal into oat flour.

Mix 1/4 cup oat flour with 1/3 cup egg beaters, 1/8 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp honey.  Add in cinnamon. Mash in cooked sweet potatoes.

The batter will be thick. Scoop some onto a heated skillet. This recipe usually makes 4 pancakes. Cook until done to your liking on each side. Top with additional cinnamon and honey. 

Chocolate Coconut Protein Pancakes

In the mood for a pancake breakfast? I have been making protein pancakes almost every weekend. YUM!! This recipe will tickle your taste buds! A whole lot of chocolatey-coconut goodness in every bite!

Ingredients:

1/2c raw rolled oats
1/4c cottage cheese
2 egg whites
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/2t coconut extract
1T unsweetened almond coconut milk
1t cocoa powder
1T unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions:

In a blender, combine 1/2c raw rolled oats, 1/4c cottage cheese, 2 egg whites, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2t coconut extract, 1T unsweetened almond coconut milk, 1t cocoa powder, and 1T unsweetened coconut flakes. Batter should be thick. 

Pour onto a HOT griddle, but no higher than medium heat. Wait a couple seconds, then slowly pour more batter onto each pancake to make them thicker. I topped them with coconut flakes and carob chips. For the syrup, mix a small amount of Chocolate Shakeology with a little bit of water and pour over top. YUM!

Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
Do you like pumpkin pie? If so, you HAVE to try this recipe!
These babies seriously taste like a dessert!

For the Pancakes:
2/3 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup pumpkin
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1 egg white

For the Icing:
1/8 cup cottage cheese
1/8 cup pumpkin
1/2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp almond milk



To make the pancakes:
Mix all ingredients. I used an immersion blender.

Just mix until ingredients are well blended. It only took a few minutes. I'm sure you could add everything to a regular blender. Or just mix well with a spatula.





Scoop the mixture onto a heated skillet to form three pancakes. Cook for a few minutes on each side.















To make the icing: Stir all of the icing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Layer the icing in between pancakes and put a dollop on top. Add pumpkin pie spice! Enjoy! 

P.S. Yes, I may have licked the plate. They really were THAT good!

Let me know what you think of the recipe!! Have a great day!

Cinnamon Roll Protein Pancakes

I have fallen in love with Pancake Sunday! I've been trying out new protein pancakes recipes. This one is the best so far!!!

I found this recipe on Instagram. Follow @spoonfuloffit for more delicious recipes! She is awesome! Follow me @caralyoung.

I changed it up a little bit... I did not use Stevia or any sweetener in the batter, but feel free to add some. It was delicious without. I also made my own "frosting" recipe. I just used Greek yogurt and honey. Perfection!

Ingredients:

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (Sunwarrior)
1/4 cup oat flour (Put 1/4 cup oatmeal in the Magic Bullet)
2 egg whites
2 tbsp almond milk
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp butter extract

Frosting:
Greek yogurt
honey

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
Add wet ingredients.
Mix well.

Heat a skillet/pan. Add a couple spoonfuls of the batter to form a pancake. Cook on each side until done to your liking. Use all of the batter. Mine made about six small pancakes. 

Spread the frosting between each layer and add a dollop on top. Sprinkle cinnamon on top for extra fun and deliciousness. 

I better buy more protein powder so that I can continue to enjoy Pancake Sunday!! What's your favorite pancake recipe?? Please share! I need more ideas!
