Homemade Gluten-Free Protein Pancakes

Call ‘em pancakes, griddlecakes, hot cakes, flapjacks, or even slapjacks — you know we’re talking breakfast! Golden brown, light and fluffy, dribbled with real maple syrup; a stack of cakes puts a smile on my face!
Unfortunately most pancakes — even some of the homemade, whole-grain yummy ones — are nothing more than a stack of carbs, which is fine if you are headed out to run a few miles, but without the powerful punch of protein, you’ll most likely be looking for breakfast No. 2 in a couple of hours.
These high-protein, low-fat, gluten-free pancakes require only three ingredients and will keep you full for a good long while. So, whatever you call em’, whip up a batch today. They’re great for dinner, too!
