Blueberry Coconut Protein Pancake!

Hey my Frosted Blueberries!

Thanks for all of your comments on my Easter WIAW! I really enjoy frosting cupcakes and baking zucchini bread (my mom bought some more zucchini, so maybe I will finally get to show you the version I make for her). 

What have I been loving for breakfast recently?

Not oatmeal!

This:

My Blueberry Coconut Protein Pancake!

Start heating up a nonstick (or lightly sprayed) skillet.

I set my stove surface burner on a heat/power of 3 (from a Low of 1 to a High of 9).

Mix together the coconut flower, chia seeds, and cinnamon.

Add the egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla.

Whisk it together with a fork…

Until there are no more lumps in the batter.

Stir in banana.

And then fold in blueberries.

Once your skillet is heated up,

Spoon the batter into your nonstick skillet in the shape of a pancake.

And let it cook for about 15 minutes.

It does take a lot longer on the first side than the second, but waiting 15 minutes ensures a better flip later!

Now, time to FLIP! Take you biggest spatula and softly scoot it under the pancake. Tilt the pan to the side and bring the edge of the pancake to the inside corner of the pan, both at 45 degree angles forming a V-shape. Now flip the pancake from the spatula to the pan facing down.

(If you’re left-handed, follow the directions as state above, but flip the directions the pan and pancake face at the angle: pan to the right and pancake to the left).

Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the bottom is a lightly golden brown.

Transfer to a plate, frost it with peanut butter, decorate it with another handful of blueberries, grab a fork, and DEVOUR!

Blueberry Coconut Protein Pancake!

Ingredients

• ½ cup egg whites (up to 2/3 cup, depending on size of egg whites used – 4 large typically work)
  
• 1 scoop (3 tbs) coconut flour
  
• 1 tbs chia seeds
  
• 1 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 2 tbs vanilla almond milk
  
• ½ banana, mashed
  
• ½ cup frozen blueberries
  

Topped with 1 tbs peanut butter and another handful of berries!

Directions

Start heating up a nonstick (or lightly sprayed) skillet. I set my stove surface burner on a heat/power of 3 (from a Low of 1 to a High of 9).

Mix together the coconut flower, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Add the egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla. Whisk it together with a fork until there are no more lumps in the batter. Add the mashed banana, stir it in, and then fold in the blueberries.

Once your skillet is heated up, spoon the batter into your nonstick skillet. Let it cook for about 15 minutes. It does take a lot longer on the first side than the second, but waiting 15 minutes ensures a better flip later!

Now, time to FLIP! Take you biggest spatula and softly scoot it under the pancake. Tilt the pan to the side and bring the edge of the pancake to the inside corner of the pan, both at 45 degree angles forming a V-shape. (I drew in the way the spatula would face, as I couldn’t hold both my camera and the spatula in the same hand and take the picture.) Now flip the pancake from the spatula to the pan, facing down. Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the bottom is a lightly golden brown.

Transfer to a plate, frost it with peanut butter, decorate it with another handful of blueberries, grab a fork, and DEVOUR!

Note: If you don’t have coconut flour, you can another flour like almond flour or buckwheat flour (whole wheat and oat would work too) or you can even use vanilla protein powder in its place. If you want to make this EXTRA HUGE, add a tsp of baking powder, split into about 3 smaller pancakes (to help with flipping), and cook until golden brown on both sides.

What what are some of your favorite pancake toppers? I love nut butter and fruit. Period.

Who is one of your favorite fitness gurus? One of my favorites is Jillian Michaels — I especially love her workouts on her DVDs, as they keep me strong!

Have you ever taken an AP test? Have one coming up this next month? I went in today to the high school I’m taking it at and we went through a lot of the paper work (bubbling-in info, etc.), and now it’s really hitting me. 30 Days, and I’ll be taking both the Literature and Physics AP Tests. I already have my diploma (came a couple weeks ago), but I won’t really feel graduated until after my 17th Birthday, which happens to bet the day I take my Physics AP Test. But now, I REALLY know I need to keep up my studying and work at it as much as I can.

xoxox,
