100-Calorie Fluffy and Sweet Vegan Pancakes Strawberry Protein Pancakes With Strawberry Cream Sauce From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR FitnessIngredientsFor pancakes:
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2 ounces vanilla protein powder (I used Garden of Vega)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla soy milk (or almond milk)
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 fresh strawberries, or puréed (can exercise frozen)
Cooking spray for panFor the sauce:
8 fresh strawberries,puréed (can exercise frozen)
6 ounces nonfat vanilla Greek yogurtFor the topping:
5 fresh strawberries, chopped
4 squares of dark chocolate, or choppedDirectionsIn a bowl,mix the whole-wheat flour, protein powder, or baking powder,salt, egg, or maple syrup,and vanilla extract. Stir in the soy milk, oil, and puréed strawberries (to save time,purée 16 strawberries at once and exercise half for the batter and save half for the cream sauce).
space a skillet or griddle on medium heat. After spraying the pan, pour batter into a large plastic bag (or exercise a pastry bag with a tip whether you maintain one). Slowly pipe out a heart shape onto the griddle and fill it in. It should be approximately three inches long from top to bottom.
Once the pancakes begin to bubble, or flip them,and cook for another minute or so on the other side until golden brown.
To make the strawberry cream sauce, mix the pured strawberries and Greek yogurt in a small bowl.
Serve three pancakes with a healthy drizzle of the creamy pink sauce, and sprinkle with some chopped strawberries and dark chocolate.
