Coach Taylor’s Zone/protein pancake recipe! I love pancakes but after trying all the different recipes for protein pancakes I could find, and eating many cardboard like pancakes, I started working on my own recipe. I think these are pretty delicious and healthy too! Ingredients: 1 cup low fat buttermilk 1 cup whole wheat pancake mix (I use Hodgson mill) 3 1/2 scoops cinnamon protein powder (I use gaspari myofusion cinnamon roll) 4 jumbo eggs (5 large) 1/3 cup pecan pieces 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 2 ripe bananas, smashed 1/3 to 1/2 cup water 1-2 Tbs canola oil 1 Tbs cinnamon Non-fat cooking spray Directions: Mix dry ingredients first then stir in wet ingredients, some clumps are ok. Heat skillet or griddle to approx 300°. Use a 1/4 measuring cup to measure the batter for each one and cook just like a regular pancake. Be sure to use cooking spray between cooking each batch. They will take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes so be patient. You should end up with about 16 pancakes. Nutrition (per pancake,approximate!!): Fat: 4.5g Protein: 10g Carbs: 13.5g If you are “in the zone” (following the zone diet), two of these makes almost a perfect 3 block breakfast. I realize there are some “unfavorable” carbs in these but pancakes are a treat, right? These are a great healthy and balanced breakfast. I make a batch of these and just warm up a couple for breakfast. They’re tasty and moist enough that no syrup is required. Hope you enjoy!
