High Protein Pancakes
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Non-stick pan or waffle maker
- 1 Spatula
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1/3 cup of dry oatmeal
- 1 cup of liquid egg whites
- 1/2 ripe banana (optional)
- 1/4 tsp of cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 tsp of baking powder (for fluffiness)
Instructions
- Mix oatmeal, protein powder, egg whites, banana (if using), cinnamon, and baking powder in a blender and blend until it's smooth.
- Place a non-stick pan or waffle maker on medium heat and pour the batter onto the pan or waffle maker. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden.
- To make sure it's cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pancake. If it comes out clean, your pancake is ready.
- Carefully transfer the cooked pancake to a plate. You can serve it as it is or with your favorite toppings like no/low-sugar syrup, fresh fruit (bananas, almonds), or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
