Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder and a dash of salt.
- Crack the egg into the bowl. Add the 1 tsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of water.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Place a non-stick skillet or a frying pan on medium heat.
- Once the pan is heated, apply a short spray of cooking spray oil to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour a small amount of the batter (about 2-3 tablespoons) onto the pan to form a pancake.
- Spread it slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even circle.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula.
- Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the pan is sprayed with cooking oil before cooking each new pancake.
- Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality non-stick pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking and ensure an even cook.
- Ensure the batter is well-mixed to avoid lumps of protein powder.
- Cook on a medium-low heat to ensure the pancakes cook through without burning.
- Add a splash more water if the batter is too thick for your liking.
- Consider adding a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Top with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts to enhance the nutritional value.
- Be careful not to overflip the pancakes to maintain their structure.
- Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
