Protein-Packed Cinnamon Bun Pancakes
My favorite way to get 30 grams of protein in at breakfast
Ingredients You’ll Need:
2 eggs (I like the heritage eggs from Happy Egg Co.)
Half a banana
1 scoop of Alani Nu's Cinni Bun Vegan Protein Powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
Lakanto Sugar Free Maple Syrup
Ghee
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I love my protein pancakes.
They are an awesome way to get a high amount of protein first thing in the morning to help you start your day with energy and keep you satisfied until lunch. Plus, protein is made of amino acids, which are the building blocks of female hormones that regulate mood, fertility, menses, and reproductive health, so having a protein-dense breakfast helps with hormone balance in the morning.
I personally survived on these high-protein pancakes during my candida albicans gut treatment (no sugar/dairy) because they are so easy to make, non-dairy, and honestly so yummy. Sometimes I don’t even use syrup on them because they’re sweet enough from the protein powder and extra moist because of the banana + egg combo!
So — here’s the recipe:
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Heat ghee or gras in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour 1/3 of pancake batter in skillet, or eyeball it to whatever size you want your pancakes to be.
Cook until the batter is bubbled through on top; flip and cook until browned on bottom.
These are best eaten immediately; feel free to add a small schmear of grass fed butter on top, but I think they’re perfect as-is! These would also be an awesome on-the-go breakfast. 💪
Hope you love them!
