Red White & Blue Protein Pancakes

With Summer here and the 4th of July right around the corner, I decided to concoct a simple yet delicious festive treat!
I love my protein pancakes and I also love berries. They are seriously the best combo. I would die for blueberry pancakes any day of the week, but now I can eat them completely guilt free. Plus, they are fueling my muscle factory ;) Who could ask for more?!

Here is the recipe:
*Note: you can tweak to meet your own protein needs as well

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wheat bran
• 5 egg whites, 1 whole egg
• 1 tbs baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbs stevia
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 c blueberries
• 1/4 c strawberries

This should be enough for 2 medium sized pancakes

Directions:

• Combine the dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl
• Add the egg whites and egg
• Whisk until it is a batter like consistency. If it still seems a little thick, add a little water to the mixture and whisk
• Add the fruit and whisk
• Spray a pan with calorie free non-stick spray and place on medium heat
• Add the batter to the pan in the form of a pancake
• The pancake will rise and when cooked, flip and cook the other side
• Add sugar free jams or syrup
• ENJOY!

OMG so yum and full of fiber, protein and low carb :) 

*Note: I have been getting belly aches from eating too much fiber. If this is the only fibrous thing you eat then you should be fine but I tweaked the recipe a little for those who do have a lot of fiber. Instead of using 1 cup wheat bran I did 1/2 c wheat bran and 1/4 c quick oats. I prefer to add a little hot water to the oats and stir them up before adding them to the batter. The texture of the pancake is a little creamier from the oats but they still taste awesome!
