Breakfast Recipes


*Please note, I wish I could say I was genius enough to come up with all of these recipes but I can not.  I'm amazing at find them, making them, and sometimes tweeking them, but I did not create them.  You will find the link where I found each under the recipe.  Some of the pics are from link, and some are from my kitchen.  Enjoy!!
 
These are the recipes I've tried and loved.  There are many, many more that I have found and will be adding as soon as I try them out!
 

Blueberry Protein Pancakes with Applesauce


Ingredients:
1/2 C Oats
1 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Salt
2 Packets Truvia Sweetener
1/2 C Unsweetened Almond Milk
6 Egg Whites
1/4 C Blueberries (I use frozen)
1/2 C Unsweetened Applesauce
 
Directions:
Mix everything except blueberries and applesauce in a blender for about 30 seconds. 
Heat pan and spray with no-stick cooking spray. 
Pour 1/2 mixture into pan and then drop in 1/2 of the blueberries into the mixture, spreading out around the pancake. 
Cook like a pancake, waiting till bubbles start to form and flip, browning both sides then remove from pan. 
You may need to mix the remaining batter a sec before pouring into the pan and re-spray with no-stick spray. 
Repeat directions for second pancake. 
 Put on plate and then pour the applesauce on top for topping.
*you can put cinnamon on top of applesauce if you'd like, or some might want a sugar free syrup.

Protein Crepes
Ingredients:
1/2 C Oats
1/2 C Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 C Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1 C Egg Whites
1 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
For Stuffing:
1 Tbsp All Natural Peanut Butter
3/4 Banana sliced thin

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in blender for about 30 sec. until well blended.
Heat small frying pan on high, so it gets super hot.
Spray with no-stick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 C batter onto pan (should be so hot it sizzles when hitting pan), then turn heat down to med high to cook evenly.
As soon as bubbles start to form, flip then when 'sizzle' sound stops take off pan.
*This will be a quick proccess since the crepe is very thin and cooks at high heat.  Pour/flip/remove!
Continue with remainder of batter.  You may need to re-spray the pan every other one.

I can usually get about 9 crepes out of this recipe so I usually eat 3 at a time, which is why I like to cook them on Fridays so I already have Saturday and Sunday's breakfasts already made.

Spread the peanut butter evenly on all three then spread out banana sliced and fold over.
