Clean Protein Pancakes

So I was CRAVING pancakes and decided to try and wing it to make a healthy version, that is pretty much paleo approved except for the whey protein in vanilla Shakeology.

So these measurements produced about 15 pancakes.  I decided to make a lot so I can freeze the rest and have a quick grab and go breakfast option.  Especially with our baby girl due any day now ;-).

INGREDIENTS:

2 ripe bananas
2 TBSP unsweetened almond milk
4 scoops vanilla Shakeology (or you can substitute a vanilla protein powder)
3 TBSP almond meal
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup egg whites

DIRECTIONS:

1. Beat the bananas and almond milk together until the bananas are well mashed/pureed.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix for about 1 minute until well blended
3. Heat a skillet with a little coconut oil.  Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.  Flip when edges are firm and begins to bubble.
4. Ideas to serve with:  maple syrup, honey, almond butter, or a homemade fruit compote

To make a fresh fruit compote . . . I simmer 1 - 1 1/2  cups berries, 1/4 cup water, and some honey or stevia (about 1 TBSP) until it thickens and the berries are well mashed and soft.  You could do this with a lot of different fruits though.  

I just did a little honey on mine :-) . . .
