Pancakes needn’t be a guilty pleasure. Take the guilt away by making my healthy high protein pancakes that will help you feel fuller for longer. They’re the small ones – much like scotch pancakes – so the thicker batter works well. If you’re looking for alternative fillings and toppings, take a look at my blog post entitled Pancakes: Do Something Different.
Ingredients:
- 7 tbsp plain flour (use gluten free flour if preferred)
- 2 scoops of whey protein powder (use chocolate flavour – quite yummy)
- 2 tbsp honey or agave syrup
- 1 banana – mashed
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp milk
- Vanilla extract or pod – optional
- 4 tsp coconut oil if you have any, or a small knob of butter for each pancake if you’re frying them separately.
- Pomegranates, berries in syrup, maple syrup, honey, or chocolate chips to serve.
Cooking Instructions:
- In a bowl mash the banana until it’s smooth, add the vanilla, egg and milk whisk into a smooth paste.
- Add the flour, protein powder and honey. Whisk until the ingredients are all combined together into a smooth batter.
- Melt the coconut oil or butter in a frying pan over a medium to low heat coating the surface of the pan. Spoon 2 tbsps of the batter into the pan. When it starts to bubble at the edges and you’ve got a light brown even coating, flip the pancake over.
- Cook until golden on both sides. Remove and set aside in a warm place on a warm plate whilst you make the rest. If possible use a wide frying pan and cook 3 at a time.
- Serve the pancakes with berries in syrup, honey, maple syrup or chocolate spread
Cooks Tip 1: Try using healthier dark chocolate instead. Just as tasty!
Cooks Tip 2: You can use almond milk if you’re lactose intolerant.
