Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • cup Super Fine Almond Flour
  • 2 Scoops Vanilla Flavoured Whey Protein Powder We use Revolution Nutrition High Whey - Vanilla Cake. SEE NOTES ABOUT NUTRITION INFO.
  • 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar Substitute
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • pinch Allspice
  • pinch Ground Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon MCT Oil or other oil

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, brown sugar substitute, coconut flour, baking powder, and spices.
  • Add the wet ingredients - the almond milk, eggs, and oil - to the bowl of mixed dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, spray with nonstick spray.
  • Use a ¼ cup measure to pour batter out into 3 small pancakes. (You can do all 6 at once, if using a larger surface, like my Cuisinart Griddler.)
  • Allow to cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, and small bubbles are breaking at the surface.
  • Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on the second side, and JUST cooked through. Note: Overcooking can lead to dry pancakes!
  • If you only did the 3 pancakes to start, use the ¼ cup measure to pour the remaining batter into another 3 pancakes, repeat the cooking process.
  • Serve the gingerbread protein pancakes with your favorite toppings - butter, sugar free syrup, whipped cream, nutmeg, etc - or just plain.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple days.

Notes

Note: Due to the WILD variation in nutrition between brands of protein powder, the protein powder has been left OUT of the nutritional info calculations in this recipe.
The nutritional info provided is for everything except the protein powder - be sure to add the needed info - protein, carbs, etc - from your choice of protein powder. The recipe uses 1 scoop / serving of protein powder per serving.
Also: See post about variance in protein powder brands.
2.5 grams of carbs per serving come from sugar alcohols. Add that to the 4 grams of fiber, and you're left with 4.5 grams net carbs per serving (plus 1 serving of your protein powder)
