Tropical Protein Pancake

Just because it's winter doesn't mean we shouldn't have some fun tropical flavors once in a while, eh?

After making Pineapple Cupcakes with Greek Yogurt, I still had canned pineapple left over and I wasn't going to throw it out right away. I had to make at least one more new recipe out of it. That's just how I do... I guess.

Plus we already know I love protein pancakes. It's my love. These protein pancakes are not like regular pancakes, just like most of my pancake creations - they are more like cookies out of a pan than pancakes but that's exactly the way I like them.

• Mix dry ingredients together.
