Power Pancakes with Fresh Fruit Sauce
These pancakes have some serious staying power! I topped mine with fresh organic raspberries and peaches. So satisfying and keeps you full for hours and hours!
ingredients
1 cup flaxseed meal
1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 packet stevia
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup spelt flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
2 eggs
instructions
In a bowl, combine flaxseed meal, protein powder, baking soda, stevia, salt, flour, cinnamon, and stir well.
Heat a nonstick pan with cooking spray over medium high heat. Whisk yogurt and eggs into the flaxseed mixture making sure there are no dry pockets. DO NOT OVER MIX!
Scoop a 1/4 size measure of batter into the pan. Cook the first side until bubbles start to show and bottom edges begin to dry, about 1 minute. Then carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute until they are cooked through but not too brown. Serve with fruit compote (or topping of choice). Serves 5

FRUIT COMPOTE
ingredients
2 cups mixed berries or soft fruit like peaches
2 to 3 tbsp apple juice (oj, cherry, or pomegranate works too)
1 to 2 tbsp agave nectar (or honey)
1/2 tsp sweet spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, nutmeg)
2 tsp cold water
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fruit, juice, agave, and spices. Heat on medium-high until it simmers. Reduce the heat to low and cover, watching carefully so it doesn’t boil over. Cook the fruit down for 8 to 12 minutes, adding more fruit juice if necessary. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the vanilla, and stir it in. Serve over hot pancakes. Serves 5.
