pancake party! un-carboloading

i must tell you about my breakfast. it was that good. and i finally have time to make breakfast which makes it even BETTER! i thought i'd share because i know a lot of folks who are on a metabolic efficiency kick and trying to eliminate most processed foods and grains from their diet in favor of whole foods mostly from fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. thought pancakes were out? THINK AGAIN! whoop whoop holla for healthy pancakes!

i borrowed this recipe from Allie and will definitely be making it again and again and again. she posted all the steps in the recipe so head to Pimp my Protein Shake for the full details. i read the recipe yeasterday and realized i already had all the ingredients on-hand so i tested it out after my run this morning before my ocean swim. holy cow.

Low Carb, Low Cal Blackberry Pancakes

• 2 TB coconut flour
• 1 egg, 2 whites
• 1/2 c. blackberries, fresh or partially frozen
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• few drops of liquid stevia, or other sweetener of your choice
• 3 TB water, milk or non-dairy milk

Allie says the nutritionals are as follows "About 250 calories for [the entire recipe]. Yes, 250 calories (not including the Greek yogurt, sugar-free syrup and sunbutter topping), 17g protein, about 17g carbs and 9g fiber. You are welcome."

this was my first time really diving into the coconut flour and i love it! (but remember to sift it- i didn't and it was chunky so then i used my hand blender to get the chunks out). i also love how high in fiber coconut flour is. anyway, happy tuesday!
