Equipment

  • 1 Mini Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Whole Grain Protein Pancake Mix

  • 4 Cups Organic Whole Wheat Flour
  • 4 Cups Almond Flour
  • 8 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 4 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Ground Flax
  • 3/4 Cup Organic Chia Seed
  • 4 Scoops Egg White Powder

Strawberry Basil Simple Syrup

  • 2 Cups Organic Strawberries
  • 1 Cup Vertical Roots Basil Leaves
  • 2 TBSP Oragnic Sugar Cane
  • 2 TBSP Water

Instructions
 

Whole Grain Protein Pancake Powder Mix (MAKE AHEAD)

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients well. Place in an airtight container and use as needed.

Strawberry Basil Simple Syrup

  • Place strawberries and basil in the mini food processor. Blend well and place in a small saucepan.
  • Add in sugar and water, and bring to a slow boil. Turn the heat to low and let it simmer until the sugar is cooked in and the syrup is cooked down.
  • Blending and reducing will be personal preference. If you wish for a chunkier syrup blend less. If you are looking for a thin, blended syrup, blend well and reduce well. Set aside.

Whole Grain Protein Pancakes

  • 1 cup of dry mix to 3/4 cup of water will make 4 medium pancakes. Adjust for your morning crew.
    The batter should sit for 3-5 minutes since the chia seeds and flax will take up water and thicken the batter. Personal preference can also be taken into account. If you want a thicker, fluffier pancake, put less water. If you like a thinner, flatter pancake – add more.
  • In a hot skillet or griddle – spray with cooking spray. Recommend using avocado spray to allow for high heat.
  • Pour in enough batter for the pancakes, depending on the size of the skillet and the preferred size of pancakes. Cook on low to medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Watch for bubbles across the surface, then flip and finish the cook.
  • Once the pancakes are finished, pour the syrup over top and garnish with sliced strawberries and mini basil leaves left from the plant. ENJOY!
