Healthy Red Velvet Protein Pancakes

2 cups oat flour

1 cup stevia in the raw

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 scoops vanilla protein powder

1 1/2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1/2 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup Xylitol

2 tablespoons red liquid food coloring

Sift together all of the first 7 ingredients and set aside.
Then mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of the dry ingredients.
Mix well with a spoon or a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
Pour spoonfuls of batter (I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup) onto a warmed griddle or skillet that has sprayed with cooking spray.
Cook until bubbles appear (3-4 minutes) and then flip.
Serve with sugar free pancake syrup or eat plain. They are good either way!
Note* This makes about 16 small pancakes, recipe can be halved!
