Peanut Butter Protein Pancake {single-lady style}.

One day last week I got to sleep in because my classes didn't start til late. Instead of going with some sort of variation of my usual tortilla with nut butter for breakfast, I decided to make something else (that still included nut butter, obvi.)

The result was a protein-packed (without protein powder!) peanut butter pancake that, if I do say so myself, was pretty darn fantastic. It's fluffy, thick, and sticks to your ribs just like pancakes should.

Peanut Butter Protein Pancake
serves 1
Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Kodiak Cakes Flapjack Mix*
• 2 Tbsp PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter**
• 2 Tbsp ground flax seed meal
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1/4 cup water

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and pour onto a warm griddle (or frying pan). Cook for about two minutes on each side on medium heat, or until golden brown. 

Remove from heat, top with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

*You may also use another kind of pancake mix if you don't have any Kodiak mix on hand.

**2 Tbsp protein powder or 1 tbsp regular nut butter (water will need to be adjusted) can also be substituted. 

of course someone was curious....

but I managed to get away with the whole pancake for my{single-lady}self. 

I topped my ginormous pancake with a layer of almond butter and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. I was in heaven. 

This pancake packs 20g of protein (following the recipe exactly) and if you top it with some nut butter or greek yogurt, the protein stats will be even higher. 

what's your favorite protein-packed breakfast?
