It’s time for another Recipe Redux post! This month’s theme is:
A Play on Patties : While St. Patty’s Day will be over by the time The Recipe ReDux rolls around this month, we’re celebrating the ‘patty’ all month long. We’ve seen images of stacked patties go crazy on food photo sharing sites like HealthyAperture.com; so stack ‘em up! Think healthy tuna burgers, potato patties, or veggie stacks.
I decided to do something a little different and make a breakfast stack!
These little stacks are full of protein, omega-3’s, and fiber!
I’ve been seeing recipes all over the internet for “Two Ingredient” pancakes—eggs and bananas. They look SO tasty and I finally decided to try themout! I added flax seed, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, and protein powder.
They turned out pretty good! The key is beating the eggs until they’re nice and fluffy, then folding the ingredients in slowly. They weren’t as fluffy as regular pancakes, but they were sweet and full of protein :)

Thanks! :) They were pretty tasty. I needed something high in protein for breakfast!
I love bananas. I love berries. I love pancakes, especially when they are so complete nutritionally. This looks like a perfect combination to whip up a healthy weekend breakfast for the whole family, including my 13-month old.
