RECIPE: SWEET POTATO AND PB2 PEANUT BUTTER CHIA SEED PROTEIN PANCAKES!


SWEET POTATO AND PB2 PEANUT BUTTER CHIA SEED PROTEIN PANCAKES!

INGREDIENTS:

·         1 small sweet potato (peel and boil in hot water before using)

·         1 tablespoon of chia seeds

·         1 egg

·         2 scoops of protein powder (I used Vanilla Whey Protein Powder on mine)

·         2 tablespoons of PB2 peanut butter (pre-mix powder in hot water before mixing in bowl)

·         1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

·         1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Mix all the above listed items in a mixing bowl using the hand mixer to blend until smooth. After, just pour into a cooking pan for cooking. Make sure to pre grease your cooking pan to avoid your pancakes from sticking; I use a calorie free, sodium free cooking spray.

Once ready to eat choose your choice of toppings. On mine I used cinnamon, sugar free syrup, and one tablespoon of walnuts.

NOTE: Servings make about 3 medium size pancakes, estimating about 500 calories for everything, and about 60 grams of protein. I was only able to finish one pancake; they were SUPER FILLING and satisfying.
