Gluten-Free Churro Cheesecake Protein Pancakes/Crepes

The fun thing about this recipe is how many different ways you can make it; you can keep it basic or you can dress it up as much as you want. They are also great for meal prep; they are good cold out of the fridge for a quick snack to-go, or you can freeze them and pop them in the toaster.

Here are two different versions for you to try. The original recipe produces more of a crepe-like texture, while the addition of the protein powder in the second recipe makes them puff up a little more like normal pancakes.

GF Crepes

1 banana, mashed smooth

2 eggs

½ tsp cinnamon

Whisk everything together and cook like you would normal pancakes on a griddle or pan with coconut oil. Flip when mixture starts to bubble on top. You can top with nut butters, maple syrup, honey, blueberries, etc. **If doubling, only add 1 more egg.

SNEAKY Health Benefits:

1. Cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar spikes

2. Coconut oil contains MCT’s, a healthy kind of fat that helps the body to produce ketones. These substances help burn fat, and can lower the risk of metabolic diseases and increase healthy life span.

GF Protein Pancakes

1 banana, mashed smooth

2 eggs

1 serving Vanilla or Chocolate protein powder

½ tsp baking powder

*Optional: Add 1 Tbsp Whole Trilogy Health Seeds (flax, chia, hemp) for some crunch and added nutrition and fiber

Whisk the baking powder in with the protein powder and mix egg with banana. Mix everything together and cook like normal pancakes on a griddle or pan with coconut oil. **If doubling, double as outlined.

“Cheesecake” Spread

1 oz goat cheese

½ tsp cinnamon

1 ½ tsp honey or maple syrup (I prefer maple for this one)

1 tsp goat milk (can substitute water)

Cream goat cheese with cinnamon and maple or honey. Stir in goat milk to thin it out and make it spreadable.

SNEAKY health benefits:

1. Cinnamon helps to balance blood sugar spikes

2. Goat products contain MCT’s, which help the body to produce ketones. These substances help burn fat and can lower the risk of metabolic diseases and increase healthy life span. Goat products are also easier for most people to digest than cow products.
