Protein Pancakes! A Guiltless Dessert.

As you have probably discovered, I have a massive sweet tooth. I would eat dessert for every meal if it was healthy to do so. So tonight I decided to try and master a healthy pancake! This also doubles as a great breakfast - BONUS!
I invented this recipe, and it's super easy, quick, and healthy.




To make 3 pancakes, all you need is:
- 2 tbsp eggwhites
- 1 scoop protein powder (I used vanilla)
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- cinnamon to taste
- cooking spray

All you need to do is:
1. Spray the pan
2. Whisk together all the other ingredients in a bowl.
3. Divide the batch into 3, and pour each one onto the pan individually.
4. Brown one side, flip, and brown the other.
5. Top with whatever you'd like. You could use peanut butter, Nutella, chocolate sauce, jam, chocolate chips, etc. I tried to keep it healthy, and used frozen raspberries and yogurt. You could also cook things into the pancakes (such as blueberries or chocolate chips) by adding them into the mixture in Step 2.

These pancakes make a wonderful and nutritious dessert! Make 'em for breakfast too, if you'd like!
