Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water (or almond milk for creaminess)
Instructions
- Combine protein powder, eggs, and water in a mixing bowl, whisking vigorously until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous batter with no lumps visible.
- Position a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, applying a delicate layer of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor profile.
- Carefully ladle small dollops of batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake to spread naturally into a circular shape.
- Monitor the pancake’s edges, watching for subtle bubbling and slight drying around the perimeter, which signals it’s time to flip.
- Gently turn each pancake using a flexible spatula, cooking the reverse side until a warm golden-brown color emerges and a light, fluffy texture develops.
- Transfer the completed pancakes to a serving plate, arranging them with artistic precision for visual appeal.
- Elevate the dish by adorning with vibrant fresh berries, drizzling with rich maple syrup, or adding a luxurious swirl of creamy nut butter to complement the protein-packed base.
Notes
- Opt for whey or plant-based protein powder to suit different dietary needs and preferences.
- Adjust water quantity based on protein powder type for perfect batter consistency, preventing dry or runny pancakes.
- Add a pinch of baking powder for fluffier texture, especially if using plant-based protein which tends to be denser.
- Experiment with flavor-infused protein powders like vanilla or cinnamon to enhance taste without extra ingredients.
