Red Velvet Pancakes with a Cheesecake Icing

Any time you check out from iherb.com, you can select 1 free sample of something. I got this thing called CocoCardio a while ago but had no clue how I'd use it... ever. It's made from cocoa, beet juice powder, and hibiscus extract. But then I realized I can use it for a Red Velvet taste!! I usually suck at making things taste like red velvet but this was PERFECT. I should buy more forreal. And the pancakes themselves were fluffy, wheeeeeee.Red Velvet Pancakes with a Cheesecake IcingServes: 1Pancakes

• 1/3 cup raw old fashioned oats
• 1.5 TBSP coconut flour
• 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein
• 1 scoop cococardio (7.5g)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 stevia packet

Cheesecake Icing

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 TBSP vanilla whey protein
• 1/2 TBSP coconut flour
• 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 10 stevia drops

First, grind the oats into a flour. Then add the remaining pancake ingredients and blend again until its all mixed up! It should be semi thick. Cook in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray at a medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Flip,then cook another 3-4 more minutes. Mix the icing ingredients together and then layer in between. I also added a drizzle of walden farm's chocolate syrup. Incredible.
