- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Genuine Health Vanilla fermented Greek Yogurt proteins+ protein powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup plain 0% Greek Yogurt
- 1/3 cup skim milk

Sauce:
- 2 cups frozen dark cherries

Instructions
- Add the oats to a food processor or blender and pulse until they turn into a powder. Mix the cinnamon and protein powder together in the food processor.
- In another bowl, mix together the remaining pancake ingredients. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet and allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease with nonstick cooking spray, oil or butter. Pour the 1/4 cup circles of batter into the pan. Once you see bubbles form around the edges, flip and continue to cook until golden brown on both sides. Keep pancakes warm on a plate tented with foil.
- Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt and honey. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the frozen cherries with the water and any additional honey, if desired. Cook until bubbly, saucy and warmed through.
- To assemble, dollop a few spoonfuls of cream filling between the protein pancakes and garnish with the cherry sauce and shaved chocolate.
