Tiramisu for breakfast? Yes, according to KissMyBroccoli.com. Pair rolled oats with vanilla protein powder, coffee, and vanilla and coffee extracts for pancakes that will get “bravos” from around the table. Even better, these bad boys have a low-fat creamy frosting (aka filling when you're stacking the pancakes) made from cottage cheese and banana. No maple syrup required!
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 1
- 1/3 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1
For the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat.
