Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 banana
75g oats
3 large eggs
2 tbsp milk (dairy, soya, oat or nut milks all work)
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch of cinnamon
2 tbsp protein powder (whey, pea or whatever your preference)
coconut oil, or a flavourless oil, for frying
nut butter, maple syrup and berries or sliced banana to serve

Steps:

  • Whizz the banana, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and protein powder in a blender for 1-2 mins until smooth. Check the oats have broken down, if not, blend for another minute.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan. Pour or ladle in 2-3 rounds of batter, leaving a little space between each to spread. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the underside is golden. Flip over and cook for another minute until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve in stacks with nut butter, maple syrup and fruit.

PROTEIN PANCAKES



Protein Pancakes image

These are the high-protein, gluten-free pancakes you've been searching for--they are one of the most popular items among my clients. I've replaced the fat with applesauce, a healthy sub for fat in baked goods that also imparts a hint of sweetness with no added sugar.

Time 12m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
¾ cup low-fat milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Stir flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk cottage cheese, milk, eggs, and oil together in a separate bowl. Pour into the flour mixture; whisk until batter is just combined; it will be thick.
  • Heat an oiled griddle over medium-high heat; when a water drop on the surface dances and sizzles, it's ready. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle. Cook until golden brown and bubbles break the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook until set, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripeness is the key to flavorful and moist pancakes. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be, resulting in a delicious pancake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter can lead to tough pancakes. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, being careful not to overbeat them.
  • Add protein powder for extra nutrition: If you're looking for extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter. This will boost the protein content of your pancakes and make them a more filling and satisfying meal.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully: Use a large, thin flipper to flip the pancakes. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve your protein pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as honey, maple syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Protein pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are packed with protein, which can help you feel full and satisfied for hours. In addition, they are a good source of fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote digestive health. If you're looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast option, protein pancakes are a great choice. Remember, for optimal results, use ripe bananas, avoid overworking the batter, cook the pancakes over medium heat, and serve with your favorite toppings. You can even add protein powder for an extra dose of nutrition. Enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast with protein pancakes!
