Equipment

  • Large nonstick pan Or griddle

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.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon MCT Oil optional
  • ½ cup Chopped Strawberries
  • Nonstick Spray

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, and baking powder.
  • Add the wet ingredients - the almond milk, eggs, and oil (if using) - to the bowl of mixed dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the chopped strawberries, stir until evenly distributed throughout the protein pancake batter. 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 strawberry protein pancakes with your favorite toppings - butter, sugar free syrup, more berries, 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.
