The best ever S'mores Protein Pancakes

Hello everyone :) As you all know I have been doing intermittent fasting for a month now. I've noticed a difference in my body definitely (not a huge difference) but everyday i feel a little leaner. Progression takes time and doesn't happen over night. You much remember this when attempting a new lifestyle change. So many people give up on their goals because they don't see results right away. Truth is, you wont see drastic results for quite sometime. You must stick with your plan and keep in mind that anything worth having takes time!!! So I continue to follow IF......not even so much because I want to get super shredded, just because I feel it fits MY LIFESTYLE and eating habits much better then 6 small meals a day. You must understand that in no way am I putting down the 6 meals a day theory or saying it doesn't work, for some it does. It actually works for a TON of people, they see great results with sticking to that plan. But for others (like me) I hit a plateau and began to hate healthy food (which I don't, healthy food is my favorite)! So IF has given back to me what I felt I lost for quite sometime. I honestly have never felt better. I haven't experienced any bloating, exhaustion, fatigue, depression or cravings. My life for so long revolved around food and when my next meal was (I think that's a form of a disease if you ask me). Now I have energy EVERY DAY, my good days are EVERY DAY, food isn't stressed about like it used to be, I feel like I have freedom back in my life. IF has seriously changed my outlook on eating, I love this lifestyle!

Now I know you see me post pictures of pop tarts, burgers, ice cream and so on, but you should all know that I don't eat like that everyday. And even though I follow IF and IIFYM (if it fits your macros) that doesn't mean I eat a bunch of shit all day. 90% of my food are whole foods that are nutritious and CLEAN. IIFYM doesn't mean you can eat whatever you want, it simply means you can eat certain foods that fit into YOUR macros. It gives you more room to eat the foods you love. But, at the same time you MUST hit your fiber, protein, nutrients & vitamins for the day. In order to do this you MUST eat whole foods like lean protein, veggies, fruits and whole grains. So for those of you that think you can do IF or IIFYM and eat shit all day, YOUR WRONG. Just thought I would give you all a little info because I know some of you are still confused!

The best coconut chocolate chip protein bread ever!!!

Coconut Chocolate Chip Protein Bread:

• 1/2 cup vanilla protein (I used Egg Protein Powder Vanilla - 14.7 oz (Google Affiliate Ad))
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup oats, blended into flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbs baking Stevia
• 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 cup liquid egg whites
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp coconut extract
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 2 tbs dairy free chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Mix everything together, I used a hand mixer to insure the clumps would all be out (the batter will be thin so the chocolate chips will probably sink to the bottom)
2. Sprinkle 1 tbs of baking Stevia on top of the batter
3. Bake at 350 until a fork comes out clean (mine took about a hour)
4. Place under the broiler for 1-2 min right when its done to make the top nice and toasty :)
