\"Heart<\/p>\n

I promised you that in my next post I would share my newest protein pancake recipe. Honestly, when I tried it\u2026it felt like I was having a warm, chocolate-chip cookie from the oven. With the addition of some whipped cream and chocolate sauce I felt like I was in heaven.What better way to start Valentine\u2019s breakfast with? It’s great because it’s very filling, tastes like dessert, got some great fiber, and over 17 grams of protein! Bring it! Serves 1.<\/p>\n

Heart Protein Pancakes<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 3 egg whites<\/li>\n
  2. 1\/2 cup oats, ground<\/li>\n
  3. 2 tsp. flaxseed, ground<\/li>\n
  4. \u00bd tsp. pure vanilla<\/li>\n
  5. 1 packet Truvia<\/a> (or 1 tsp. organic sugar)<\/li>\n
  6. 2 heaping tbsp. plain yogurt<\/li>\n
  7. 2 tsp. dark chocolate chips<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I just ground some old-fashioned oats in the blender and then mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl. Spoon it out into a heart-shape on a heated, non-stick frying pan (spritzed with olive oil).<\/p>\n

    I didn\u2019t time the recipe (oops), but you just kind of watch it until the one side is done and then flip it. (wow, sorry\u2026that was an explanation for like\u2026a four-year old) I believe you can figure it out. (grin)<\/p>\n

    Once it’s done, make it even more delicious looking. From this\u2026<\/p>\n

    To this. Give me that fork!<\/p>\n

    I added some prettiness with the whipped cream and then drizzled some of this healthy chocolate sauce<\/a> over top. You can also do a bunch of mini hearts instead of one large pancake, which would be really cute.<\/p>\n

    The best protein pancake I\u2019ve had…so far. I’m always making new variations.<\/p>\n

    I found this idea on SkinnyRunner<\/a>\u2026called \u201cSix Things\u201d<\/a>, it\u2019s just a little collection of fun questions that I thought would be fun to do!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What\u2019s your favourite drink?<\/strong> I am boring. I like water <\/a>and chocolate almond milk<\/a>. <\/em><\/li>\n
    2. Would you consider yourself shy or outgoing?<\/strong> There\u2019s very little that\u2019s shy about me. I actually wish sometimes that I had a quieter personality.<\/em><\/li>\n

      \n<\/em><\/li>\n
