Not to brag, but I've had some pretty rave reviews on my pancakes lately, and I think it's because I've been adding a few secret ingredients that no one expects in their average pancake. But, this all makes sense to me, because Fatness Everlean, armed with bow and fork, is not your basic chick. She's quick witted and it's survival of the fittest in her real-life Hunger Games.
Tyler, aka Pizza McFart, got 3 wisdom teeth pulled on Monday and has been miserable ever since. He's strayed from his normal diet of zillions of grams of protein per day to not being able to eat much of anything due to the pain of dental trauma. I made it my mission last night to make sure my guy got a full belly before bedtime. While trying to eat just soft food, but satisfying the need for a high protein diet, we opted for "brinner". That's breakfast for dinner, in case you didn't catch on to my word slur. (Get used to it...I tend to do that from time to time). I've made an alternate version of this recipe that was a winner for more than a dozen 9 year old girls, so I feel like this pancake recipe has gotten the seal of approval and is safe to share. Which is why you're getting a two-fer. Both recipe are to die for, if you're looking for a protein-packed, fluffy pancake.
Vanilla-Cinnamon Banana-Oat Protein Pancakes
1 c. Complete Buttermilk Pancake Mix (I use Market Pantry, 'cause pinching pennies!)
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology (protein powder)
1/2 c. Rolled Oats
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 3/4 c. Water (or to texture)
In a large bowl, mix together pancake mix, shakeology, oats and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mash ripe banana with a fork. Add banana and water and whisk thoroughly. Heat griddle or pan to medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray or coconut oil. Using 1/4 cup, scoop pancake batter onto griddle.Flip pancakes when you see bubbles forming in the batter, or when golden brown.
Makes approximately 12 pancakes.
Chocolate Banana-Oat Protein Pancakes
1 c. Complete Buttermilk Pancake Mix (I use Market Pantry, 'cause pinching pennies!)
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology (protein powder)
1/2 c. Rolled Oats
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 3/4 c. Water (or to texture)

Heat griddle or pan to medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray or coconut oil. Using 1/4 cup, scoop pancake batter onto griddle. Flip pancakes when you see bubbles forming in the batter, or when golden brown.
Makes approximately 12 pancakes.
Apparently Pizza McFart had been starving himself all day, because I made a double batch of these pancakes and he wolfed down 11 himself. I had even made a pizza for the kids, and they ditched the pizza for the pancakes. There were three left over. Safe to say they're a hot item in my household. I also love that my kids are getting an extra dose of protein (and super-healthy antioxidants, pre and probiotics, vitamins and minerals, etc.), because they're not big meat-eaters and I find it hard to make sure they're getting a balanced diet. And we suck at taking vitamins.
Not sure how to get your hands on a bag of Shakeology? Ask me!
