Bread Cravings

So, when you're not allowed to have bread, bread cravings are a thing. Lately for me though, it's not been bread. It's been pancakes! Pancakes, or crepes. So, I went searching on Pinterest, and I found a good recipe (that I of course adapted from the original) for protein pancakes. The original recipe comes from BariatricEating.com They're amazing. You can always of course, adapt my recipe to fit your needs, or wants, but this is what I liked. :)

Protein Pancakes/Crepes

-2 large eggs
-1/2 c. 1% or skim milk (I used 1%)
-Pinch of table salt
-4 tbsp. Splenda
-1 tsp. vanilla extract
-1 scoop Vanilla Protein powder (or whatever flavor you want to use, I used Quest brand)
-PAM or similar cooking spray
-Fruit or SF fruit preserves
-Ricotta lightly blended with Splenda (Since it was really hot in the house last night, I skipped the ricotta, but I bet it would be really good!

-Preheat the oven to 200* (To keep the crepes you've made warm while you make the rest)
-Combine all ingredients but the fruit/topping and ricotta in a bowl and mix well.
-Pour your batter into a small egg/crepe pan, and cook like an omelette (only flip once).
-Top/fill with fruit and/or ricotta.
-Enjoy!



Ignore the ugly one that broke in half... I made that one thicker to try and make it a pancake. My pan was too small to do this. LOL. I spread each pancake/crepe with SF Strawberry preserves. The thick "two" I ate like a pancake. The thinner, fully round two I rolled like a crepe, and ate them correctly. The recipe actually makes one more crepe style disc, and probably two crepes instead of the one pancake... so, 5 crepes total. They taste so good! I'll definitely be making these again... Soon!
