Gingerbread Protein Pancakes

Light, fluffy pancakes always make a yummy breakfast, but it can be easy to down an entire stack... and then be hungry two hours later. The solution: Add protein powder! These flapjacks also mix in cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg for an irresistible gingerbread taste.

Directions

  1. To make spice mix, combine cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl; mix well. Set aside.
  2. Combine protein powder, yogurt, egg whites, oats, coconut flour, spice mix, baking powder, and molasses in a medium bowl; mix well.
  3. Heat large nonstick skillet lightly coated with spray over medium heat.
  4. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles form on top. Flip. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Repeat until all batter is used.
  6. Serve pancakes topped with pear, if desired.
