The goodness of hot cakes and their nutrients
Welcome back to Mancave Monday.
After some quick weeks, we are already 10 days into August. What!? This summer is going too fast. Although, first and foremost, I like to give a big shout out to the weather and how it’s lifting our spirits and getting us to be more active outdoors. By the way, what are some of your most favorite activities and how do you incorporate them into your days during the week? I ask because I find it hard some times, even with the longer days…just sayin!
Now I’m big on breakfast and I need something that fills me up for a while. Usually I add in a good for the heart, oatmeal, which is phenomenal to my side of eggs and that does the trick. Although lately my pocketbook has been great so I’ve decided to splurge. Today, I feel that we’ve all been super motivated and can incorporate a dense gluten free pancake, which are a bit more fun. OK they are a lot more fun! As pictured above, these are gluten free high protein pancakes. So you get the goodness of these hot cakes and their nutrient densed protein to keep your muscles growing. Why gluten free, because I love them. They are heavier than a normal conventional pancake and hold in more of the protein and other ingredients, so it makes it easier to handle and are just as healthy.
The base of the pancake batter is a whole wheat flour and the protein comes from the egg and whey. Now you can play with the ingredients until you are blue in the face, but these are simple and get you into the kitchen, cooking, eating, and moving on with your time.
1 cup – whole grain/gluten free flower (or your typical baking flower is just fine)
1 tbsp – baking powder
1/2 tsp – guar gum (binding purpose)
If you can’t find some, it’s ok.
1 – whole large egg
1/2 tsp – real vanilla extract
1 – serving of your most favorite protein powder.
Add all ingredients and mix into a bowl.
Medium heat.
Spoon in pancake batter to an average size on a hot and already oiled skillet and cook until one side shows bubbles throughout the top.
Then switch the flame to low and flip over to cook for a few more minutes.
There you have it. Bam, Boom, and voila!
With these hot cakes, not only will you have more of a complete meal, but your protein will be met for that morning and you will be full for a longer period of time. Balance off them cakes with some fresh grilled fruit such as peaches, strawberries, or plums, and you are all set.
