Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 pan
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup 2% reduced fat milk
  • 1 tsp Stevia
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, egg and milk.
  • Gradually add protein powder and whisk thoroughly. Stir until the batter is completely smooth and blended.
  • Whisk in baking powder, cinnamon, and Stevia. Allow the batter to rest and thicken as you heat the stovetop.
  • Preheat a pan to medium heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Use two large spoonfuls of batter for each pancake. Cook the pancakes until they bubble before flipping (around 30-45 seconds each side).
  • Place the cooked pancakes on a plate and cover with foil. This will keep them warm as you finish cooking the rest.

Notes

Top this breakfast off with sugar free syrup. It will give the pancakes a traditional feel, without adding more calories.
