On the 8th day of Christmas...

(...I mean December...)
Alissa came back to the blogger world and posted 2 protein pancake recipes! 

Ah, yes, my pancake obsession has made a comeback! I have no complaints. I love breakfast.

I hope you guys enjoy and make these yourself! The tiramisu protein pancakes were inspired by the lovely Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli, as per usual! Love her!

P.S. Sorry for being so MIA lately! I'm very sad I couldn't post a WIAW this week, but with work and school, I've been SO busy! Especially since, when I do work, it's for 6-8 hours on end... then I normally come home and sleep, depending on the day and time! At least my coworkers are super tolerable... as well as my job itself! (Though, being in Rite Aid from 3-9:30 pm after a nearly 6 hour school day does kinda suck... but, I do try to make the most of it!)
P.P.S. I will admit I have never had actual tiramisu in my life... BUT, after quite a few searches on it, I came up with the recipe above... And they were delicious! Feel free to modify them to your likings, and let me know if you try them at all!
