Best pancakes

Pancakes are a classic breakfast favorite, and this recipe takes a healthier spin by incorporating whey protein powder and almond flour. These protein-packed pancakes are not only delicious but also nutritious, making them the perfect start to your morning.

Ingredients:

2 scoops whey protein powder
60g
1 cup almond flour
120g
4 tsp baking powder
20g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 eggs
110g
1 oz cream cheese
27g
1/4 cup flaxseed oil
55g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a medium mix bowl, combine 2 scoops of whey protein powder, 1 cup of almond flour, 4 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, crack open 2 eggs and whisk them lightly. Add 1 oz of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of flaxseed oil, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to the eggs. Blend these ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth consistency. It's best to use a hand mixer or blender for this step to ensure the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
3. Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. The batter should be thick, but if it feels too thick, add a splash of water or milk of your choice to reach the desired consistency.
4. Preheat and Prep Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with a short spray of cooking spray oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
5. Cook Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked inside.
6. Serve:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. If you're making multiple batches, keep them warm in an oven preheated to 200°F (93°C).
7. Enjoy:
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt make perfect accompaniments.

Tips:

- Use a non-stick frying pan or griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

- Ensure that all wet and dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed to avoid lumps in the batter.

- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.

- Cook the pancakes over medium heat, flipping them when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or syrup.

With this recipe, you can make fluffy and flavorful pancakes that are both healthy and satisfying. Whether you are looking for a protein boost or simply want to enjoy a tasty breakfast, these pancakes are sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
