Gingerbread Protein Pancakes

There are few things better than waking up to the smell of pancakes on a wintry morning. But, when you’re trying to get fit, pancakes are rarely on the menu. Let me introduce to you Gingerbread Protein Pancakes. They’re light and fluffy like regular pancakes, but thanks to the addition of whey protein, they also pack a high-protein punch. And, since they’re made without wheat, they’re gluten-friendly too.

The spice mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg creates more than you’ll use in the pancake batter, but you can save it in an airtight container and use it on top of oatmeal or in a smoothie to infuse it with that classic gingerbread flavor.
