Want to indulge in some delicious pancakes but don't want to ruin your diet? I've got 2 great protein pancake recipes that taste that are better than the real thing plus they'll keep you full!
I use oat flour for my pancakes, its hard to find and expensive in Ireland so I just buy Quick Oats and put them in my coffee grinder until they turn to flour, you could also use a food processor. If your not worried about your macros or your gym diet simply use ordinary flour, omit the whey protein and use the whole egg. I promise you won't regret trying these either way!
