Okay so if you saw one of my last posts, you could see the disaster pancake I created..Well this time I made the changes to the recipe like I said I would and now I have created 3 amazing low-carb pancakes for you to enjoy daily! Want the recipes?

1) Banana-Blueberry Protein Pancakes
These are probably my fav. of the 3 but personally I just love banana so of course I would opt. for these!

*Makes one large serving

Here's what you'll need:
-1/2 a banana mashed
-1/4 cup egg whites
-2 tbsp almond milk
-1/4 tsp vanilla extract
-cinnamon to taste(I put quite a bit)
-1 scoop good quality vanilla whey protein powder(I use PVL Creamy Vanilla)
-1/2 tsp baking powder
-1 tbsp flax seed
-pinch of salt
-Handful of fresh/thawed frozen blueberries

Directions: Heat a pan over low-medium heat. Spray with Pam. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir in wet ingredients.(Don't over mix). Use a ladle to pour batter onto hot pan to form pancake shapes. Add a couple blueberries to the top of your pancake while cooking. Flip after 1-2 minutes on each side. (Look for browning or bubbles coming through.) Repeat until batter is gone. Take off heat and serve with sugar-free syrup or additional heated and mashed frozen blueberries. Enjoy!
