For Topping
1/4 cup of greek yogurt
1 tsp of honey
lemon zest
Preparation
• Spray a small oven safe skillet with coconut oil or cooking spray
• In a medium sized bowl mix together the protein powder, coconut flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together the almond milk, egg whites, lemon extract, and sweetener
• Mix together the wet and dry ingredients, gently stir in the blueberries
• Turn on the broiler in your oven to medium (for after you cook it on the stovetop)
• Heat the nonstick skillet on medium heat, once the pan is hot pour in all of the batter. Cook until the outside ring of the batter is bubbled and looks a bit dry

• Place the pan into oven and broil it until the top is cooked and springs back when touched, about 3 minutes
• Remove from oven, top with yogurt + honey, and lemon zest!
Notes
Make sure the frying pan you use is oven safe, or make several smaller pancakes and just flip them instead of placing them under the broiler.
