I found this recipe on Instagram of all places, and I like that it’s an easy, protein-packed, gluten-free pancake recipe that only uses a few ingredients. Besides the fact that it gives me a ton of energy, it tastes great:
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1 scoop of protein powder (I use a vanilla flavored one)
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/4 cup of low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (optional)
1 tsp of almond milk (optional)
Optional: sliced fruits like strawberries
Directions:
Combine eggs, protein, rolled oats, cottage cheese, and almond milk together in a blender and blend until it liquifies. The almond milk makes it a little thinner (I use Blue Diamond’s Almond Breeze milk in Vanilla/Unsweetened) so you can add it if you have it but you don’t have to have it for this recipe. I also have made this a ton of times without the vanilla extract and it tastes great even without it, so don’t fret if you don’t have those ingredients.
In a small skillet, add a little olive oil or cooking spray over low heat and pour in mixture. After a few minutes, or until edges solidify, flip pancake over and cook other side. This recipe is enough for two pancakes.
After cooking pancakes, top with sliced fruits — I like adding strawberries and blueberries. I’ve also tried different variations of it. Below is one I had using chocolate-flavored protein powder.
I also tried adding blueberries to the batter — this made it a little too liquid-ey so it was hard to flip…think I may stick with just topping it with blueberries next time, but since I had the picture of a failed attempt:
Let me know if you try, especially if you tried a different variation of this! My friend at All Sear, another great cooking blog, tried out my pancakes, adjusting the portions a bit for a guy and wrote more about the nutritional value as well, so if you want to check that out, click here
