Servings: 2 pancakes
Calories: 241kcal
Ingredients
- 8 Egg Whites
- 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 Banana mashed
- 1/4 cup Blueberries fresh or frozen
- Dairy Free Milk or Regular Milk as needed
Instructions
- Whisk together the egg whites and protein powder in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the mashed banana and add in the blueberries. If the pancake mixture seems too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it a bit.
- Heat a non-stick pan (I use an electric griddle - it's perfect for non-stick pancakes!) or lightly spray a pan and bring to low-medium heat over the stove. If using the griddle, bring to low-medium heat as well.
- Divide the pancake mixture in half and add to the pan or griddle to make 2 pancakes. Cook about 5 minutes until bubbles form. Once the pancake has set, flip it and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- This recipe makes two large pancakes. One serving equals one pancake. Serve with your favorite toppings!
Notes
- Very important that you use a protein powder for this recipe that you enjoy and that you would drink on its own. The one I used has stevia in it so if your protein powder does not have a sweetener, you may need to add one to your pancake batter.
- Note protein powders with whey protein may yield a thicker batter with a denser texture. You may need to add more liquid to yield a texture that is fluffier.
- See the substitutions section of the blog post for recommendations on swapping ingredients!
