Becca’s New Protein Pancake Recipe!
Do you love pancakes but wish you could make a healthier, protein packed version that actually tasted good? I’ve tried my fair share of protein pancake recipes, and while they are decently good, I still miss the fluffiness, texture, and slightly sweet taste of classic pancakes. Well have no fear, for I have finally made a recipe that will give you a good amount of protein while keeping that yummy, pancake taste!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
Directions
- Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another.
- Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and mix well, but not too much. We still want it to be a little lumpy.
- Place a pan over medium heat on the stove (or feel welcome to use a plug-in griddle) and spray with non-stick spray.
- Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. When the edges are dry and there are bubbles in the middle, flip!
- Cook a few more seconds then place on a plate, top with your favorite toppings, and enjoy! :)
Nutrition Facts per 1/3 cup (well, what I felt like calculating)
- Approx. 105 calories
- 15g carbs
- 7g protein
I like to have two of these with 1-2 tbsp of pure maple syrup and 1-2 scrambled eggs. Makes an amazing, protein packed breakfast! :)
- If you want just a normal whole wheat pancake recipe, replace the almond flour and protein powder with 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour.
- If you want it to taste more like buttermilk pancakes, replace the almond milk with a mix of:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
Thanks for the recipe Becca :) I am definitely going to try these next week!
