Protein Pancakes: The Best Way to Enjoy a Sweet and Healthy Breakfast

I always say that a savory breakfast is the best way to start the day. But when you’re really craving something sweet and decadent in the morning, the best way to satisfy that craving is by making pancakes loaded with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

This is a truly delicious recipe that you can also double and freeze for those “sweet” emergencies when you need something quick, nutritious, and comforting.

A serving of 3 pancakes provides 24 g of protein.

Protein Pancakes: The Best Way to Enjoy a Sweet and Healthy Breakfast

 

 

Ingredients

5 eggs at room temperature, separated

70 g almond flour

30 g pumpkin seed protein

80 g ripe banana

30 g grass-fed collagen

25 g sacha inchi protein

10 g coconut flour

40 g arrowroot starch

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

110 g water

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

½ tsp cream of tartar

Directions

Place all the ingredients in a blender, except for the egg whites and the cream of tartar. Blend until you obtain a smooth and silky batter.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and set aside.

In another bowl, add the egg whites and the cream of tartar and, using an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter little by little, using folding motions to keep the mixture light and airy.

Heat a cast-iron skillet and add ½ teaspoon of coconut oil, spreading it evenly over the surface.

Using an ice cream scoop, place portions of the batter onto the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until the pancakes are golden.

Flip and cook on the other side until they are golden and firm.

Serve with almond butter and fresh fruit.
