Apple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes [Vegan]

These yummy breakfast bites are vegan, low sugar/fat and packed full of protein.  Mornings have never tasted so sweet!

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill 10 Grain Organic Pancake and Waffle Mix
2. 2 tbsp Flax seed
3. saigon cinnamon
4. 1 package Splenda sweetener (optional)
5. 1 scoop vegan/vegetarian protein powder (chocolate tastes best)
6. 1 cup water
7. olive oil
8. 1 apple

Instructions:

1. Peel and chop apple into small pieces.  Place in small frying pan with a bit of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water and several shakes of saigon cinnamon.  Cook on medium heat until all liquid dries up and apples are gooey and warm.  Set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix the pancake mix, flax seed, several shakes of saigon cinnamon, Splenda, protein powder, and water.  Whisk well, ensuring the mix has reached a smooth consistency before cooking.
3. Lightly spray a non-stick pan with olive oil, and heat to medium (6-7).  Let the pan warm up completely before frying any pancakes –you want them to sizzle as soon as they hit the pan.  Let each pancake cook until they bubble and smoke a bit, then flip to other side.
4. When all the pancakes are ready, sprinkle with saigon cinnamon and the warm apple bits.  Warm a bit in the microwave if pancakes have lost heat.  Spoon on E.D. Hollow No Sugar Added Syrup, or any other sugar-free syrup you like (Nature’s Hollow is one brand).
5. Enjoy!
