 Guys, let’s talk about EVERYONE’S official guilty pleasure- Cadbury mini eggs. NO, this post is not sponsored, and YES, I wish it was so that I could have a stockpile of mini eggs in my pantry right now. Seriously, I decided to make this recipe just so that I would have a legit excuse to expense a family sized bag of these bad boys. And while I have no qualms about popping these back by the handful a la carte, I figured they would be even more appreciated in these wickedly delicious Mini Eggs Gluten Free Protein Pancakes. Delicious for a healthy Easter brunch option, but honestly, delicious any day of the year when you can find those eggs!!

So as you guys know, I’m kinda obsessed with better for you protein pancakes.  I’ve made ones for St. Paddy’s Day and Valentine’s Day and so much more. I HAD to whip out my base recipe for Easter too!
These Mini Eggs Gluten Free Protein Pancakes essentially start with a combination of oats, cottage cheese and egg whites. I guess this is what fitness models and people like that would call “clean eats”. I call it a great base for Mini Eggs!!

 Next, I figure, we need some stacking support, so I made a delicious chocolate cashew mousse sweetened   naturally with dates.
Obviously, then we top the whole thing off with more mini eggs, berries and maple and OMG, get your face right in there.
