• 1 tblsp no fat greek yoghurt
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

Method

Pancakes

Combine all of the pancake ingredients in a blender ( i use my nutri-bullet its the best thing ever and its amazing for all of the smoothies i make) and blend until smooth.

Spary a pan with coconut oil spray (or simply use 1/2 tsp coconut oil and coat the pan). Let the pan heat up for a minute. Make sure the Pan is set to a low heat. Spoon the pancake mix into the pan into small round circles. 1 pancake should be about 3-4 tablespoons of mixture until you have 3 small pancakes on the Pan. Cook for 3-4minutes or until pancakes are firm enough to flip. cook for a further 2minutes until golden and firm. 

Top with anything you like! i love to add berries, cocoluscious ice cream (its an organic gluten and dairy free ice cream) , sugar free maple syrup or protein chocolate topping

Topping

Place the protein powder, cocoa, stevia and coconut oil into a cup. add the cot

water and stir until smooth. you may need more hot water depending on the consistency of your protein powder. drizzle on top of pancakes and enjoy.
