Simple Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes

Protein pancakes are certainly one of our breakfast favorites. A great sunday morning treat without the guilt! We think they taste even better then regular pancakes!

Sweet Potato Pancakes:


 (Here is a picture of some protein pancakes, they aren't the exact ones we made. We gobbled them up too quickly before we could take a picture! :D ) 


Ingredients:
1 sweet potato (4 oz.)
1/2 cup egg whites
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 tbsp. stevia
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder

Blend together in blend. Then pour in pan, flip, and enjoy! Its really that simple!

Also feel free to add your own alternatives like coco powder and chocolate protein powder for a more chocolate pancake. If you like pumpkin, swap out the sweet potato for 4 oz of canned pumpkin and use some pumpkin spice as well (this makes a great fall treat) 

Try avoiding using maple syrup with this one. If your craving some syrup feel free to top them off with some almond butter or applesause. You can even make your own berry syrup! Just place some frozen berries (or whatever frozen fruit you like) on the stove (you can add some stevia) then pour over pancakes! Its tastes great! 

Try it out and let us know what you think!
