INGREDIENTS
• 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (divided into two portions)
• 2 tbsp granulated stevia
• 2 scoops nPower Nutrition Vanilla Cupcake Whey Isolate protein powder
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 2 tbsp chopped almonds
• 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt, or to taste
• 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (you can sub almond or dairy milk if you prefer)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil liquid (or you can melt regular coconut oil)
• 1 large egg
Topping: your favorite sugar-free syrup, garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut and/or almonds.
PREPARATION
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped almonds in a single layer over the sheet. Put in oven and bake for about 4 minutes, or until toasted brown (be careful not to burn)
• Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Then put into food processor with 2 tbsp granulated stevia.
• In a large bowl, add the toasted coconut mixture, nPower Nutrition Vanilla Cupcake Whey Isolate protein powder, oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, coconut oil liquid, and unsweetened coconut milk until smooth.
• Slowly fold wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients until batter is formed. (if batter is too thick add more milk, 1 tbsp at a time until thick but pourable).
• Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• Pour batter onto pan (note, recipe makes 6 pancakes) and cook for a couple minutes until tiny bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and edges are golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until firm in the center and golden brown. Enjoy!
