INGREDIENT FACTS & NUTRITION:

Rolled oats: Oats are a great source of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates to help keep you satiated and regulated. Eating foods that keep you full may help lower your calorie intake and lose weight if that’s your goal. Oats are loaded with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Vegan Protein: There are many sources of vegan protein, but to give you an idea I’ll list some now.. pea, pumpkin seed, hemp, quinoa, whole grains, soy, seitan, TVP, chia seeds, flax seeds.. I think you get the idea! Not all vegan proteins are complete proteins. Soy is one of the few plant-based proteins that contain all 9 essential amino acids, vegan protein powders contain complementary protein blends to create a complete protein. You can get all 9 essential amino acids by having a well balanced diet.

Pumpkin Purée: Much like unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin purée is a great substitute for butters & Oils. Pumpkin purée is lower in calories and allows you to enjoy your favorite baked good while dieting!

Flax Meal: Flax meal contains a good amount of protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Flax meal is considered a rich source of micronutrients. Flax seeds are higher ALA omega-3s. Our body has a hard time converting ALA into EPA and DHA, if you are vegan/vegetarian it’s highly encouraged that you supplement with plant-sourced EPA and DHA. Flax seeds are high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, just one tablespoon contains 3g of fiber! Soluble fiber expands in your stomach slowing digestion and nutrient absorption to help keep you full and lower your calorie intake. Insoluble fiber can help promote bowel health and regularity. Eating foods with a lot of fiber can help keep you full longer.

Peanut Butter Powder: Peanut butter powder is created by pressing out most of the natural oils from roasted peanuts and then grinding the nuts into a fine powder. The result is a peanut butter product containing 85% fewer calories from fat.

INGREDIENTS:

50g Old Fashion Rolled Oats (blended) or Organic Oat Flour

15g Steel Supplements VEG-PRO Blueberry Muffin

60g Pumpkin Purée (keeps the pancakes moist)

50g Banana (mashed)

4oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

35g Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1 tbsp Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Pinch Sea Salt

TOPPINGS:

20g Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

16g Fit Chocolate PB Powder + 1 tbsp Walden Farms Pancake Syrup (drizzle)

12g Sliced Almonds

DIRECTIONS:

Combine flax meal and unsweetened almond milk, set aside. Mash banana in a large mixing bowl. Combine remaining ingredients including almond milk and flax meal mixture in large mixing bowl with mashed banana, whisk together. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour spoonful of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your spoon. Flip once the edges begin to turn golden brown. Dress with favorite toppings and enjoy!
