ALMOND GRIDDLE CAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP Lean Version

I was actually trying to go for a red, white and blue pancake breakfast to bring in the 4th of July, but I decided last minute that it just wasn't working for me. So, I just made a white and blue pancake breakfast instead. Garnish this dish with a fresh strawberry and taa-daa....instant Independence Day breakfast. I got this recipe idea from my Clean Eating Magazine, except their recipe had cranberry syrup and I tweaked several ingredients to add more protein and less fat. My kind of recipe!



ALMOND GRIDDLE CAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP
Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Griddle Heat: 250 degrees

Pancake Ingredients
1/4 cup almond flour {I like Bob's Red Mill}
1/4 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS sugar-free applesauce
4 egg whites

Blueberry syrup Ingredients
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup water
2 Stevia packets
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping
1/4 cup Total 0% Plain Fage Greek Yogurt

Directions
1. In a sauce pan, combine all of your syrup ingredients and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. While your blueberries are simmering, start your pancake mixture.

2. Heat your griddle/skillet to 250 degrees. Mix all of your pancake ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Spray skillet/griddle lightly with Pam Olive Oil spray. Using a 1/8 cup, pour pancake mixture onto griddle. This recipe makes 6 pancakes. Cook on each side 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Remove syrup from stove and let it cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving over your pancakes. Place a dollop of yogurt over the top of syrup and serve. Enjoy!
