Strawberry Protein Pancakes With Strawberry Cream Sauce
From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness
Ingredients
- For pancakes:
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2 ounces vanilla protein powder (I used Garden of Vega)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla soy milk (or almond milk)
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 fresh strawberries, puréed (can use frozen)
Cooking spray for pan
- For the sauce:
8 fresh strawberries, puréed (can use frozen)
6 ounces nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- For the topping:
5 fresh strawberries, chopped
4 squares of dark chocolate, chopped
Directions
- In a bowl, mix the whole-wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the soy milk, oil, and puréed strawberries (to save time, purée 16 strawberries at once and use half for the batter and save half for the cream sauce).
- Place a skillet or griddle on medium heat. After spraying the pan, pour batter into a large plastic bag (or use a pastry bag with a tip if you have one). Slowly pipe out a heart shape onto the griddle and fill it in. It should be about three inches long from top to bottom.
- Once the pancakes begin to bubble, flip them, and cook for another minute or so on the other side until golden brown.
- To make the strawberry cream sauce, mix the puréed strawberries and Greek yogurt in a small bowl.
- Serve three pancakes with a healthy drizzle of the creamy pink sauce, and sprinkle with some chopped strawberries and dark chocolate.
