Low carb protein-packed pancakes

Whether you are following a low-carb diet, trying to increase your protein intake or simply looking for a healthier alternative to traditional pancakes, this recipe is perfect for you. These pancakes are quick and easy to make, offering a balance of protein and flavor that will keep you fueled throughout your morning.

Ingredients:

1/2 scoop whey protein powder
16g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 egg
54g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
2 tbsp water
30g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture:
- 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.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- 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.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
- 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.
4. Flip the Pancake:
- Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula.
- Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Repeat:
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the pan is sprayed with cooking oil before cooking each new pancake.
6. Serve:
- 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.

These low carb protein-packed pancakes provide a fantastic way to enjoy a hearty breakfast without compromising on your dietary goals.
