Today in the UK, it is National Pancake Day!!
That's right - this blog post is ALLLLL about pancakes! In a similar fashion to last years Pancake-day fiesta, I'm going to share some of my NEW faaave pancake toppings with you all :) And yes - THEYRE HEALTHY PANCAKES

| My Berry Brilliance Pancake Day Morning Pancake Blueberries mixed into the batter, raspberries and strawberries on top |
My basic recipe for all pancakes is the same and as follows;
1 scoop Perfect Fit Protein Powder (Can be substituted for any Protein or 1/4 Cup flour)
1.5 tbsp of Ground Flaxseed
5-6 tbsp egg whites
Splash of Almond Milk (or any kind of fat-free milk)
Dash of Cinnamon (or loads if you're me hehe)
You mix all of these ingredients together, pour into a hot pan and cook as you would any normal pancake (2 mins-ish on each side)
Now for the good stuff! (Although I apologise in advance for my really really bad names of the recipes haha)
My favourittttte toppings from the year (I know I eat a lot of pancakes haha - I'm always experimenting!)
Unless otherwise stated, just add your ingredients on top of the pancake you've made!
Apple and Cinnamon Extravaganza!
-- Up the Cinnamon content in your base recipe
-- Add two tablespoons of Unsweetened Applesauce into your base recipe
-- Spread 1 tbsp of Unsweetened Applesauce on top of your finished pancake
-- Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and stevia
Citrus Crusher
-- Add the juice of a 1/2 lime, juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 tbsps of freshly squeezed OJ in your base mix
-- Once cooked, top with fresh orange segments
Pineapple Passion
-- Add 2 tbsp of all natural pineapple juice into your base mix
-- Top your pancake with chunks of fresh pineapple, stevia and coconut shavings!
Chocolate Cherry Creation
(Lame name - I know!!)
-- Chop up some cherries (de-stone obviously!), fold them in to your pancake mix before cooking
-- Substitute your almond milk in the base recipe for chocolate almond milk
-- Add 1/2 tsp of cherry extract if you like too!
-- Melt some dark chocolate and allow to cool slightly before drizzling over your pancake!
Berry Brilliance
Pictured at the very top of the blog!
-- Add a handful of blueberries into your pancake mix
-- Top with Chopped strawberries and Raspberries
-- Why not try one of the syrups from last years blog too?
Red Velvet Chocolate Cake Valentines Pancake
Say whaaaaat? I KNOW!
-- Add red food colouring and 1tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder to your mixture
-- Substitue the almond milk for chocolate almond milk
-- Whip up some cream cheese frosting for your topper!
-- And some melted dark chocolate if you're like me! ;)
That's it!! Shall we turn this into an annual event? I think so ;)
This has possibly been my best Tastes So Good Tuesday yet!! I still want you to send me your recipes! I can't wait to feature them (full credit given of course!)
Happy Pancake Day :)
