Ingredients

• 6 Eggs whisked
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2.5 cups Almond Flour
• 1 cup protein powder of choice
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon powder
• Spray oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl whisk together all 6 eggs. Then add half of the apple sauce, and whisk until fully incorporated and then add the second half of the apple sauce along with the lemon zest. Add the maple syrup and combine till blended.
2. In a separate bowl mix the almond flour, baking soda and powder, and the cinnamon powder.
3. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing to fully incorporate. Whisk until a batter is formed.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle-pan over medium-low heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray. Scoop ¼ cup per pancake and cook 1.5 to 2 minutes per side, flipping the pancakes using a wooden or plastic spatula. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid over cooking each side. Repeat the process until all the batter is cooked off.
5. Serve pancakes with maple syrup, and a healthy cup of a berry mix and some freshly picked mint for freshness and color. If meal prepping, cool down pancakes on a cooling rack as you cook them and store in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
6. These pancakes will hold well in either the fridge or freezer. If you are meal prepping, feel free to store these in the fridge on meal prep containers. Conversely, if you make a bigger batch and you rather freeze them, store the pancakes in Ziploc freezer bags by creating small piles of pancakes and freezing the bag flat. This will preserve the pancakes whole, avoiding potential tares.
