Hi! I’m back with a new recipe! Now that Lunar New Year is almost over, I think it’s time for something lighter. Of course, lighter doesn’t mean less delicious! A serving of these pancakes may have 25g protein and less than 300 calories, but they are sweet and fluffy just like the “real” version. They’re perfect for breakfast/brunch, preworkout/post workout….. or any time of day actually, especially since they take less than 20 minutes to whip up. ><

Notes

1. Whey and plant based proteins work best. I tried with casein, but that batch came out gummy
2. Do NOT overmix. This will result in dense, flat cakes. The batter should be barely mixed and a tad lumpy

That’s it… let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

• 30g whey protein powder
• 30g flour
• 1tsp baking powder
• 1 egg white
• 3tbsp almond milk (or milk of choice)
• Sweetener (optional)

Directions

1. Combine protein powder, flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add water and egg white. Mix until just combined. Lumps are okay!
2. Heat a non stick pan or griddle on medium low. Spray if necessary.
3. Drop 2 tbsp of batter into the pan. Cook for 1-2min/side or until the edges firm up and bubble. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 min until cooked through. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
4. Serve and enjoy with your favourite (preferably healthy) toppings!

Of course, this is just a base recipe, there’s plenty of room for customisation. For inspiration:

1. Switch up the flavour of the protein powder.
2. Use kefir or buttermilk instead of milk/milk substitute
3. Add cocoa, espresso or matcha for an extra kick
4. Mix in fillings like chocolate chips, nuts or berries (be careful with this ><)
5. Whip up the egg white before folding it into the mix for extra fluffiness

I hope everyone enjoys this. Have a great week. Until next time, Bye!
