Apple Spice Pancake Recipe

This time of year, we have numerous requests for a warm breakfast option that still provides a high level of satisfying protein. Protein pancakes can be a great way to satisfy both needs. Bonus that they can be made in bulk for easy weekday grab-n-go or even frozen for use later. If you prefer vegetarian options substitute ground flax and water for the egg. Enjoy!

Ingredients
• 1 egg
• 1 packet vanilla 20/20 High Protein powder
• ¼ c. unsweetened applesauce
• ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon

  1. Preheat griddle to medium-high heat and spray with non-stick oil.
  2. In a bowl, beat egg then add remaining ingredients until evenly combined.
  3. Cook for 3 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  4. Enjoy plain or topped with almond or peanut butter as desired.
