It's almost fall y'all! Looking for a warm and fluffy pancake breakfast to start the day that actually packs some nutrition? Try these blender cakes that hide carrots and walnuts and are made without flour. You'll get 8g of protein and 5g of fiber in less than 240 calories for 2 pancakes. At this calorie level you have room for a tasty topping and maybe some scrambled egg whites on the side for extra protein. To keep calories in check use some fresh berries or no added sugar jam instead of syrup.
Recipe:
2 cups Rolled Oats
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsps Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 Carrots (peeled and grated)
1/4 cup Walnuts (finely chopped)
2 tsps Oil of Choice
Combine the oats, eggs, applesauce, milk, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a blender- blend until smooth. Add the grated carrots and walnuts, stir to combine. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with oil. Scoop approximately 1/3 of a cup of batter at a time into the pan. Once bubbles form, flip the pancake and cook for another one to two minutes (repeat with the remaining batter). Makes 5 servings of 2 pancakes for a serving. Yum! Feel free to make in bulk and freeze for an easy heat and eat option on busy mornings.
