Protein Pancakes

1 medium ripe banana

1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder

1 Tbsp coconut flour

1/2 cup egg whites

1 Tbsp almond butter

1 Tbsp orange zest

1/2 tsp baking soda

Coconut oil

1 orange

2 Tbsp slivered almonds

In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients. Add 1 Tbsp coconut oil to a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

2. Ladle batter into the pan and immediately lower the heat to medium. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with additional coconut oil and batter, if needed. Serve with sliced oranges and slivered almonds. Makes 12 small (about 3 inches in diameter) pancakes

Here's my take on pancakes -- a vehicle for holding maple syrup.  By the way, for people who do like them, you don't have to fry them in all that fat -- if you like dry food like that, because I'm assuming it defeats the purpose of adding protein to a pancake if you're just going to pour maple syrup over it as I would if I were to eat them because otherwise what's the point of eating a pancake, you can bake them.

I don't eat pancakes! My wife made sweet potato pancakes. So you there!!
The last time I ate pancakes was many years ago.

My opinion:  don't eat pancakes except for a rare treat.  So there.
