High Protein Pancakes
Pancakes are one of the best comfort breakfasts out there. The toppings are super versatile as the pancakes essentially act as a blank canvas for whatever you choose to top it with. Turning oats into oat flour is one of my favorite things to do! Oats are whole carbohydrates, meaning they digest slower than refined carbohydrates, therefore releasing energy more slowly throughout the day. Greek yogurt is also a great way to add moisture into this recipe without the use of oil. Additionally, plain greek yogurt is low in sugar and high in protein, making it a great snack when paired with berries or granola!
