Protein Powder Pancakes with Homemade Chia Jam
These pancakes take the cake – and taste like it too! Topped with homemade chia jam, these easy and healthy pancakes will have your family running down for breakfast – even on a weekday!
Prep time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
• 125 mL (½ cup) oats • Half scoop flavoured protein powder • 30 mL (2 tbsp) of milk (skim, 1% or 2%) or fortified plant-based beverage • 1 whole egg + 1 egg white • 2 mL (½ tsp) vanilla • 1 packet stevia • Dash of cinnamon
Homemade Chia Jam • 125 mL (½ cup) frozen berries (any kind of berry works!) • 30 mL (2 tbsp) chia seeds • Splash of water
Directions:
Place uncooked oats in a blender or food processor and blend into a fine flour. Add protein powder, milk or plant-based beverage, eggs, vanilla, stevia, and cinnamon. Measure ⅛ cup of batter per pancake and cook in a skillet on medium-high heat. Cover the pancakes so they cook inside faster. Heat berries with water in microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through. Stir in chia seeds and refrigerate for 10 min or until it’s the consistency of jam. Keep in fridge for later use.
