protein pancake

Gina’s Nighttime No-Carb Pancake

1 scoop protein powder
2 egg whites
1 tsp baking powder
Cinnamon, to taste

Mix all ingredients and cook on medium heat in a pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Top off with a tbsp of almond butter.

Simple Protein Pancakes:

• 1 Scoop Whey (flavor of choice, I used Vanilla)
• 2 Egg Whites
• 1/4 Cup Oats
• 1/2 Large Banana (substitutions below)
• 1 TB Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• 1/8 teaspoon of Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Put all ingredients into blender or magic bullet and blend until smooth. Allow the batter to set for about 5 minutes. Heat up a skillet or pan and spray with non-stick spray. Pour batter onto skillet (batter makes 2-3 normal sized pancakes). Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked fully.

Alternative Options:

If you aren’t a fan of banana, you can sub this for 1/4 cup pureed pumpkin, fat free plain greek yogurt or nonfat cottage cheese.
Top with whatever you want. I recommend a natural nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter. You could also top with fresh fruit, sugarfree jam, honey, coconut butter, maple syrup or sugarfree syrup. Get creative!
