Protein Pancake

 

Protein Pancake

Hands down this is my most popular recipe ever. It is named this because most pancakes are only made of carbs….this one is balanced! This can be breakfast, lunch or snack…it is a complete meal that contains protein, fat and carbs. You can eat it with your hands if needed and you can prepare it a few days ahead of time. This often lands in my girls’ lunches because they love the protein pancake and so do their friends.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup egg whites OR 1/3 cup egg whites + 1 scoop Arbonne vanilla protein powder (for vegan pancakes, use 2 scoops protein powder and add extra milk)

  • 1/2 cup dry oatmeal (whole rolled oats)

  • 1/3 banana or 1/4 cup of fruit (ie: canned pumpkin, berries, green apples)

  • Splash of vanilla

  • Dash of cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup milk alternative

  • 1/2-1 TB coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except the coconut oil together in blender

  2. Heat 1/2-1 TB coconut oil (or other oil) in medium high in a 10” sauté pan

  3. Add batter to pan (will fill up the whole pan)

  4. If adding fruit like blueberries or sliced banana, do so now.

  5. Wait for tiny bubbles to form on top, then flip.

  6. Cook for another minute or so on the other side. Then turn off the heat. Let sit for another minute.

  7. Remove the pancake onto a cutting board and slice into triangles.

  8. Enjoy as is, or drizzle with almond butter or warm berry compote.
