♥ Skinny Cakes ♥


I am not sure about you but breakfast is my second favorite meal….next to dessert of course! You can have any fun, fabulous and fantastically healthy combination possible and it tastes amazing! One of my top 3 breakfast choices are protein pancakes, I know these are definitely popular in our Phenomenal Fitness Group! We have swapped recipes here and there but we each have our own way of making them “just right”. Today I am going to share how I like my protein pancakes and how to make them…”just right”.  Ok bring your appetite and some of that energetic attitude and let’s make some cakes!

Skinny Grocery List:
1.5 C Blueberries (I froze mine prior because I think they are easier to work with this way)
                1 Medium Banana (8”)– If you would rather have banana pancakes I did the Nutrition below
1 C Oats
1/4 C 0% Fage Greek Yogurt
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt
4 Egg Whites
2 Scoops of Your Favorite Protein Powder (I chose Isopure Zero Carb Cookies and Cream from Nutristop in Aliso Viejo! Joel and Sherry are awesome there! XoXo you two are the best!!!)
1/4 C Stevia in the Raw (optional) if you want sweeter cakes add it; I like mine a bit more “Cakey” than Sweet
Walden Farms Pancake Syrup (You can also use Sugar Free Syrup but it changes the nutrition ;))
Non-Stick Spray

Gadgets and Gizmos:
Blender (What an amazing tool! I use this probably way more often than the average Betty Crocker)
Measuring Cup
Measuring Spoons
Small Bowl
Medium Bowl
Spatula (One for Flipping and One to get all that delish batter out of our blender!!)
Non Stick Pan

Directions to Tackle Operation Breakfast:
Measure Greek yogurt and Baking soda into a small bowl, mix well and set aside
Add Oats, Salt, Cinnamon and Protein Powder  (Add Stevia here if you choose to add sugar) to the blender and pulse until well blended
1) Add Baking Soda to your Yogurt
2) Mix well 3) Add Oats to your blender
4) Add Salt
5) Add Cinnamon 6) Add Protein Powder of your choice
7) Pulse until well blended 8) Shoul look like so ;)

Add Blueberries, 4 egg whites, Yogurt mixture (should be fluffy ) and pulse until well blended
                (If you chose banana add your banana here and not the blueberries )
9) Add Blueberries (or your banana)
10) Add Whites 11) Add Yogurt Mixture
12) Pulse and then Blend until Smooth

Pour out contents into medium bowl using spatula (Get the edges! We want as many cakes as possible)
Heat up non-stick pan to just above medium (a 6 on 1-10) and spray with non-stick
When the pan is heated measure out 1/3 C of batter and pour into pan
You should see bubbles form on top of the cake, when you see that…Flip 
1) Batter should look like so Yum♥
 2) Measure out 1/3 Cup 3) Bubbles formed and Flip
 4) Wait 30-45 Seconds and Done!!!

Wait about 30-45 Seconds and your cake should be done!
Repeat with Remainder of your batter
Yields 6-7 Cakes
YUMMMMM
