These is one of my favourite breakfasts to make when I need a boost of energy in the morning, particularly when I am planning a heavy leg workout that day. These pancakes taste like an indulgent, hearty breakfast, yet are actually low in calories and have a really nice balance of protein, carbs and fats, which satisfies for hours. Even more importantly, for those of us with busy mornings (actually, is there anyone who doesn’t have busy mornings anymore?) they whip up in mere minutes.
