"What Are Johnnycakes?" Johnnycakes are a traditional flatbread or cornmeal pancake popular in New England and the Caribbean. Made with simple ingredients, they’re hearty, comforting, and versatile. This recipe gives them a healthy, high-protein makeover with Elevate Protein Flour, perfect for fitness enthusiasts or anyone seeking better macros without compromising flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Elevate Protein Flour
• 1 cup fine cornmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (optional for a touch of sweetness)
• 1 1/4 cups unsweetened oat milk (or water for a lighter version)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the Elevate Protein Flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and monk fruit sweetener.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   Slowly add oat milk and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined to form a thick batter.

3. Cook the Johnnycakes:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with olive oil or cooking spray. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each Johnnycake and spread slightly.

4. Flip and Finish:
   Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the edges set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Serve Warm:
   Enjoy as is, or top with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite savory additions like avocado or eggs.
