Protein Pancakes with light berry drizzle

Protein Pancakes

1/2 C rolled oats (preferred NOT quick oats)

1 C whole wheat flour

1 scoop Blendfresh protein powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt

Blend the above ingredients together to mix in a Wildside jar.  Then add to the jar;

2 C very warm water

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 scoop Blendfresh Red (optional)

Blend until it makes a smooth batter, you may add a little extra water if it's too thick.  You can pour straight from your blender jar onto a hot griddle.  I like to use a cast iron skillet (it adds trace amounts of iron to your foods) with coconut oil on it to keep food from sticking.  Watch for my post on coconut oil and why it's so good to add it to your recipes.  This recipe makes 12 hearty pancakes.  Two will be very filling, so the recipe easily serves 6 people.

Light Berry Drizzle (syrup)

1 1/2 C fresh (or frozen) raspberries

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Add the ingredients to your Blendtec Twister Jar if you have one.  This makes a smaller batch and you can use the Twister lid as a spatula to scrape down the food that hits the sides of the jar.  Pour it straight onto pancakes.  This is about the right amout of berry syrup for three people.  Some of the people at my table prefer maple syrup and so I make a small batch so I won't have any left over. 

If you double or triple the recipe, you can make this in a regular blender jar.  (It will be too small of a batch to gain speed in a large jar if you are just making a single batch).  If you are making a larger batch, you can use the hot soup setting and the blender blade will spin so fast that it actually uses friction to heat the syrup and you can serve it hot over the pancakes.  Yum!  If you are thinking about getting a better blender with some of these cool features click here.

This is the Blendtec Express Pro (see the led screen says "Gibbs Fam"?!).  It is holding the smaller Twister jar used to make the berry syrup.
