Sweet Potato Quinoa Pancakes

I was feeling a little adventurous this morning and in the cooking mood so I decided to make: 

Sweet Potato Protein Quinoa Pancakes!

They were de-lish-i-oso:

• 1 medium sweet potato
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa 
• 1 scoop whey protein powder (mine is french vanilla flavored)
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• Vanilla
• Cinnamon
• Honey/Syrup

1. Poke holes with a knife and cook sweet potato in the microwave on high for 10-12 minutes

2. Put cooked sweet potato in a food processor/blender and smooth out

3. Mix sweet potato, quinoa, protein, egg whites, almond milk, flax seeds, vanilla, and cinnamon together

4. Spray skillet with cooking spray and plop some pancakes!! 

They were pretty good! Maybe more added sweetener next time. My roommate and I ate ours topped with a banana, honey, and more cinnamon. I'm sure they would be great with peanut butter or with nuts/raisins added in the batter. 

Enjoy and have a happy hump day! :)
