Savory Red Pepper Patties

Think pancakes are always sweet? Try these!

Ready in 10 minutes * makes 4 pancakes

1 C Red bell pepper, chopped
4 egg whites
1/4 c unflavored whey protein powder
1/8 c low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 c coconut flour

Topping:
1/4 c tuna
3 T. low-fat cream cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic salt (optional)

Blend pancake ingredients together. Heat pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. 

Pour desired amount in pan. Flip when bubbles form in the batter, or when one side is golden. Top each patty with a thin layer of cream cheese, a spoonful of tuna and a sprinkle of garlic salt.

I find I like to go a little crazy with veggies on these and add chopped tomatoes and spinach maybe a few thinly sliced mushrooms (which have been said to relax muscles) and some sliced green onions. Either way- Yum!?!
