Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
I am sore from yesterday’s weights. I love being a sore after a good workout – means I worked those muscles! I celebrated with breakfast, and GUESS WHAT????? I made pancakes WITHOUT protein powder. No, really, I did. 
My inspiration? Katie’s Oatmeal Cookie Crepe Cakes!
Ingredients:
40 grams blanched almond flour
40 grams rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp baking power
1 packet stevia
Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Lots of cinnamon
My batter…
My batter after pimping with 3 egg whites whipped with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar…
Onto the griddle…
Flip…
Pile onto plate and cover in more cinnamon…
Make vanilla cinnamon protein ice-cream for dippin…
Make ice-cream cookie tacos and eat…
Then drink a big mug of coffee to warm your heart and full belly since it’s 14° outside.
Love you Katie. These were sooo good. The rolled oats added a lovely “chew” factor, and I encourage all of you to try them soon!

Perfect breakfast.. great way to start off your Sunday!
Yum. Those look great! Glad you’re feeling better!
I want some now! Wow they look good x x
You are so naughty! Cookies and ice cream for breakfast! I love it when you can eat “bad” foods for breakfast and make them healthy!
I need to get into the habit of making some of that ice cream; it sounds great!
Yum! Those pancakes look absolutely awesome! Breakfast of champions!
These look really good, Heather! Fluffy, and their shape is fabulous!
I’d have to try them, too!
Those look awesome!! I’ll see your 14 degrees and raise you a lovely 2 degrees
Yeah, it’s 2 here. Awesome.
Glad you’re feeling better!
I really need to get some almond flour so I can try these! They look really good!!
Those looks really, really good. Where do you get Celtic sea salt?
Rachel, I can find Celtic sea salt at Kroger, local chain of grocery stores, but Whole Foods or any health food store will carry it as well. I buy the unrefined stuff – it’s gray and full of minerals.
Glad you are feeling better! I love veggies too!
Hey Heather! Your breakfast looks great! I tried protein ice cream a few nights ago, but I think I might have added too much ice because it felt like I was just eating ground ice. Next time I’ll try it with less ice. Yesterday I ordered Jay Robb rice protein powder for the first time. I can’t wait to try some protein pancakes, oats, and smoothies!
Sally, I’ve been there with the bowl of icy ice-cream. No fun, but I learned from my mistakes, and now can eyeball the perfect amount of ice. Hope you like your Jay!!!
i love how your crepe cakes got all puffy since you made them HEAB style
i’ve been wanting to try this recipe for ages so i think i might even make them for a snack tonight. yumm!
Oh those pancakes look so fluffy and amazing!! Happy Sunday!!
Those look sooooo good…thick and yummy!
oh my, i want some! but i can’t find a protein powder i like
suggestions?
♥ lindsey
Lindsey, You know I love all things Jay Robb .
Do you do dairy? If so, I think his whey is the best tasting out there, and you can’t beat his ingredient list. Rice is good too. Took a while for me to get used to, but now I love it. Not a fan of the egg white protein powder though…it’s a bit funky.
Your meals always look so good!
Thought you might be interested in entering this contest. It is for 2 jars of Barney Butter and 24 single serve packets.

Thanks Lori.
Heather,
Those cookies look so good!! I think I’m going to have to buy some almond flour and make them this weekend. I’m pretty sure they will go over well with the fam! I too love the ‘sore’ feeling after a good work out… I’m on my way to do one right now. This winter weather is putting me in a work out slum and I’ve actually gained a few pounds, but eat better, move more and no worries – right!?
Cookies and ice cream for Bfast?
You’re my hero.
I just wish I had a food scale!
great job working out when you weren’t feeling so great the past couple of days!
I must say; I really want to make egg white pancakes now! They are so fluffy! Way to be so dang creative, as always, You! Have a good weekend!
Your fun pancake creations make me smile!
Those look like the *perfect* cold weather breakfast!!! I would want to eat a big stack of them in my bed!
WOW those look delish!!! I am copying and pasting that recipe right now!
Sundays are pancake mornings for us and I’m always looking for a new recipe! Thanks for sharing this one
No protein powder? I am impressed
Those pancakes look AMAZING!
<3 jess

mmm they looked so good when i saw them on katie’s blog and now i am 110% convinced that i need to make these!
Heabs I think I read once that you dont like using the microwave – why is that?
Also – yes the pancakes look terrific. Its always a good sign when they are as tall as they are wide!
Brittac, I believe the micro-rays are melting my insides, causing my cells to mutate into God only knows what. OK, so nothing that extreme, but it kind of freaks me out that microwaves change the molecular structure of our food. I don’t like it. Would rather just use the stove-top or toaster oven to cook or re-heat.
Those pancakes look sooo good, especially with the IceCream- I need to get some of those Gums in order to make it though!
Those look so so good! I love fluffy egg whites in pancakes and waffles. Marvelous!
Those look totally good!
A griddles make pancake makin so much easier huh? I can only get about 3 cooked at a time with my skillet. I’ve gotta invest in one soon, I love pancakes!
Heather, Just got the griddle for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. It’s changed my pancake making life forever. LOVE!
I really really want pancakes right now. Wow those look good!
Those pancakes look beautiful and yummy, will have to try them soon!
WOW! This looks amazing! What a perfect way to start the day. I def am going to try this one out tomorrow!
No protein powder IN the pancakes but definitely on top! wwoot. So glad you’re feeling better Heather. Bought my *last* (before I leave at least) kabocha today. :’( Made me kinda sad. But there will be another time of my life where kabocha puree will make many appearances. Just gotta get used to it I guess! (And read the manual to the CIA, pretty much NO electric cookwear whatsoever besides a microwave, but I’m sneaking the magic bullet in with me!)
Hi Heather, I hope you’re feeling better. You keep rockin out the great eats! Ok so these are gluten free, soy free, and almost vegan. No dairy but the eggs. Do you think that I could skip the egg whites (eggs) entirely? I dont like egg replacer as it leaves a funky taste to me which is why I never make pancakes. But these are sooooo close to perfect for me….egg whites, to skip or not to skip? I fear that if I omit them, these would be hard little flat cardboards…what do you think after seeing your raw batter?
Averie, Sub 2 TBSP flax seed soaked in 1/4 cup water. I think it would work just fine.
Very pretty pancakes! I love your idea to make them into tacos
Those cookie pancakes sound really good!
Cookie pancake tacos?! HEAB, you have the best taste buds! I’m definitely featuring you and your gorgeous pancakes tomorrow.
You’re the best!
Do you ever make ahead and freeze extra servings or just go solo by day
You read sooo much nowadays about “planning ahead” and prepping …and I hate to spend time doing that though 
. Glad your cold has relented!
Eatmovelove, I never do much food prepping as I never know what I’ll feel like eating on any given day. I’m more of a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. Planning is no fun.
Yum Yum! I’m out of almond extract, but will definitely grab some next time I’m @ the store! Your brekkie looks delish, as usual!
Yumlicious Heaby!! These sound awesome!! They look so cute too
One question- why’d you sub the almond flour for the whole wheat flour? I remember on your new years post you said you were going to stop avoiding foods that you can tolerate, to be less restrictive on yourself, so I am holdin ya to that and asking if you avoided the gluten grain for any specific reason?! Anyway- Do you think it changed the texture much? I want to try making these for my special man <3 <3 u!
Lola, Honestly, I love the taste of the almond flour. Never been a big fan of whole wheat in pancakes & baked goods. So dense and “wheaty” tasting, ya know? The almond and coconut flours I’ve been using are much lighter tasting. Much betta.
Heather, your blog could win the award for most attractive commentors.
Again, all these pancakes look good.
I am going to copy and paste this recipe. Soon, I will have to try one of these!
I guess I’ll have to grow more confidence in this area because I am not much of a cook to begin with and I never tried any of those ingredients yet.
~Chris
Sounds like you had a nice day. I think the basic pancake recipe with box mix + oats + water are the best, old-fashioned nice way. Of course you Heabify it with all these ingredients that I haven’t heard of , or can’t keep up with
Whatever works for YOU girl.
Cookies at breakfast sounds good.
Glad you are feeling better.
NOm- thanks for the shout out- man those cakes came out phat phat phat!! Yes! Love that. Of course it’s only my pancakes and my smoothies that I want fat- not my thighs!
Glad your sore- nothing like a little DOMS to put a smile on your face
Miss you!
cant believe (ok I can:)) Ive never used blanched almondANYTHING before.
that breakfast looks amazing!!
Ooh, I saw those on her blog the other day! Looks delicious!
Hope that cough is still on it’s way out.
These pancakes look great. Similar to Polly’s “oaty cakes”?
I have found that if I take 1,000 mg of Vitamin C about an hour before a workout, my muscles are less sore. Just a suggestion you might try.
Have a great week! It’s supposed to be a little warmer.
Thanks Scott, will try the Vitamin C. Good idea.
cookie crepes? that sounds fantastic! i love finding new great recipes from you
