Tropical Protein Pancakes





 Coconut & Banana Pancakes with Pineapple Agave Syrup!

Why not bring the taste of a tropical island to your breakfast table? LOL


These pancakes are great fuel for a hard workout! I recommend eating them on hard training days. They are packed with good carbs for a lot of energy.

Ingredients:

Pancakes:
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1tsp baking powder
1tsp stevia
4T shredded unsweetened coconut
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

Syrup:
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1tsp agave nectar

Directions:
Blend all pancake ingredients with a mixer or a blender. Heat griddle or skillet on medium to high heat. Cook like you would a normal pancake. :-)

For the syrup: Put ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy-smooth. Heat in microwave for about 45 seconds - 1 minute. Serve over pancakes!

I put a few extra banana slices and shredded coconut on top. :-)

Makes 1 serving
