Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
I've been working hard to get my protein up lately. That seems to be an ever present refrain with me! Here's a fact though: I do better when trying to lose weight when I up my protein consumption. (LCPC diet anyone?) AND when I'm lifting heavy, and when I'm building fitness, and I just feel better, AND...seriously note to self, eat more protein! Bueller... I wander off and always wind up right back here.
So, again I'm working on protein centered recipes! Lately, it's been these on repeat...
Sweet Cinnamon Protein Pancake Recipe
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 1/2 scoops Cinnamon Cereal Protein Powder (that's the link on Amazon, you can get it straight from the company, here)
1 Tablespoon Keto Creamer (see notes)
1/8 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon organic Saigon cinnamon (optional)
1 packet Truvia (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ghee for the skillet
Directions
Preheat your skillet to just shy of medium, 4 -5 on my stovetop.
Mix all ingredients well. I just use a mug and a fork to do this. Nothing fancy here!
Add the ghee to your skillet.
When it's melted well add in your batter.
Wait until bubbles appear and it seems well set and then flip.
Make sure you cook these through. You don't want an eggy middle!
Notes
- I use the Keto Creamer because I always have it on hand and think it's fantastic in these. Lots of healthy fats in there. You can also use macadamia oil, avocado oil, or melted ghee. I haven't tried melted coconut oil, but if that's what you've got, give it a whirl.
- The cinnamon and Truvia are optional, I often leave them out. If I'm craving a sweet, yummy treat I definitely add them in. Try it both ways!
- I've only tried these with this protein powder, it's hands down my all-time favorite. I can't say how they will turn out with other brands. The protein powder really does make a difference in protein pancakes. Some brands will yield really dry, NOT tasty results.
- You can make several small pancakes as shown (the pics are a triple recipe to make a stack), but let's be real, I'm usually impatient and just make one giant pancake. It's a little tougher to flip that way; you really have to make sure it's set enough to flip
These are very low in carbs and definitely high in protein. I have them quite often and love them. Currently I'm aiming for about 500 calories and 30-50 grams of protein per meal and these fit perfectly into my day. I usually eat them plain without butter or sugar free syrup (though I occasionally add these for a treat).
Enjoy! Let me know if you try them. 🥞🥞🥞
