Cinnamon Apple Paleo Protein Pancakes

Bec Miller

The perfect weekend brunch. 

We all deserve to indulge and I strongly believe we should all enjoy the comforting foods that we love. But why not twist them so they can be nutritious, healthy and weight loss friendly? Like having your cake and eating it too.

Here is a recipe that does exactly that. A totally guilt-free healthy alternative to regular, white flour, high sugar pancakes!

Here it is...

Cinnamon Apple Paleo Protein Pancakes

Serves: 1

Prep time: 3 minutes

Cooking time: 4 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg white (or 1 vegan egg)**

  • 2 tbsp vanilla low carb protein powder. My absolute fav is the Morlife Plantiful Vanilla Fudge protein (enter code healthwithbec for 15% off. Click here)

  • 3 tbsp almond meal or LSA mix

  • 1 tbsp granulated stevia 

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon gluten-free baking soda

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1/4 + cup 1 tbsp almond or coconut milk (unsweetened).

  • 1 tsp coconut oil or organic, grass-fed butter

Toppings:

  • Either 3 tbsp plain greek yogurt or 2 tbsp coconut yogurt

  • 1/2 apple

  • Extra cinnamon and stevia

Method:

  1. Whisk everything except the coconut oil together in a bowl, gradually adding milk until the consistency is a pancake like batter.

  2. Heat coconut oil or butter on a pan over medium heat.

  3. Pour batter onto pan. If you’re lazy like me, just make one big pancake. Or, divide mixture into 2 or 3 mini ones.

  4. Flip once air bubbles form on top of the pancake and continue to cook for approx. 1 more minute!

  5. Dice apple, place in a small bowl or mug, add a little splash of water, extra cinnamon and a little stevia if desired and place in microwave for 40 seconds. 

  6. Pour apples over pancakes and top with 2 tbsp coconut yogurt!

** Vegan egg made by whisking together 1 tbsp chia seeds with 3 tbsp water and letting it set for 10 minutes.
