I had pancakes for breakfast this morning...

And they were AWESOME!!!

I found a recipe online for WHEY PROTEIN pancakes...

Here is the recipe:

WHEY PROTEIN WAFFLE / PANCAKES
1/2 cup (2 scoops) Whey Protein (I used EvoPro Chocolate, 1 g net carbs per scoop, 26 g carbs per scoop = 2 g carbs & 52 g protein)
1 egg
1/2 c water
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
OPTIONAL: 1 tbsp Da Vinci SF caramel or vanilla syrup
OPTIONAL: cinnamon (as much or little as you want)

Mix thoroughly and makes 2 pancakes

Since I used the SF syrup - even though technically the syrup IS 0 g carbs - i always count 1 tbsp as 1 g carbs

Now, I DID use some "sugar free" syrup - which has 13 g sorbitol carbs per 1/4 cup (i only used 2 tbsp or 1/8 cup - 1 tbsp on each cake)

but WOW were they YUMMMMMY!
Definitely not something I will be eating every day, by any means (as there is a LOT of protein) - but a GREAT saturday morning option!!!

so all in all:
2 pancakes = 2 g carbs
1 tbsp SF syrup (in the pancakes) = 1 g carbs
2 tbsp sugar free maple syrup = I counted all 6 sorbitol/sugar alchol carbs for the 2 tbsp (although I don't think i do absorb them...)

but if you don't use the sf maple syrup - it's only 3 g for 2 pancakes!!

course, it's hard not to eat pancakes without drinking milk - but once i get into maintenance I'll be able to add in the Almond Milk.

here is what they look like:

They look delicious. Yummmm
I tried the pork rind French Toast once and it was pretty good but just the idea that it was made with pork rinds turned me off.

They look wonderful, Keriann!!!!

I haven't tried the protein powder yet, but am sure looking forward to it.

Great job, and way to add a "normal" food back into your diet. I am a big believer that things like that make this WOE sustainable. I do the flaxseed and cream cheese pancakes, but it's the same principle.
