Strawberry Protein Pancake Roll Ups with Yogurt Filling

These pancake roll-ups are a mix between a crepe and a pancake! They turned out almost like a fluffy version of a crepe, so I thought, why not call them ‘pancake roll-ups!’ The sweetness of the strawberries make these pancake roll-ups taste like dessert! The best part is, these pancakes are packed with protein and healthy whole grains (no flour!)… So, although they are sweet enough to be dessert, they are healthy enough to have for breakfast!!! Sounds like the perfect sweet breakfast to share with your sweetie this Valentine’s Day if you ask me!

Method

The estimated total time to make this recipe is 15-20 Minutes.

1. Put all of the ingredients for the pancakes in a blender and blend until smooth!

2. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle (or large nonstick skillet) coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon 1/2 of the batter (if making 2 large pancakes) OR 1/4 of the batter (if making 4 smaller pancakes) onto pre-heated griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Remove from griddle when both sides are cooked, and place pancakes on a serving plate.

3. To make the filling, simply mix Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese puree) with jam (or diced/crushed strawberries) and sweetener in a small bowl. Divide filling between pancakes, and roll pancakes up around filling. Place roll-ups on plate seam-side down so they stay rolled, or secure with a toothpick! Serve with strawberries, low sugar jam, or low sugar maple syrup if desired! Enjoy!
