Protein pancakes
High protein, low carb and oh so easy to whip together - this pancake recipe has only 4 ingredients that just need to combine and pour into the pan.Most of us seem to wait until the weekend for pancakes - but this recipe is so quick to make I've incorporated it into my mid-week routine as well.I think this recipe is great post-workout, but it's also good if you're struggling with digestive issues such as SIBO and if carbohydrates give you symptoms like bloating, diarrhoea or constipation.I've used black-strap molasses, if you've never tried it I'd recommend it as it's rich in iron, magnesium and calcium, but a warning the taste is strong! Try small amounts to start.Serves 1Pancake ingredients:
1 tbsp protein powder (I used hemp)
2 eggs
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp of plant based milk
Topping suggestions:
Coconut yoghurt
Berries
1 tsp of seeds (I used a combo of chia and sunflower seeds)
1/2 tsp black-strap molasses
1 tsp rice malt syrup
Method:Add the eggs to a bowl, whisk gently, then add the remaining ingredients, combine and whisk until mixture is smooth.Heat a fry pan with a teaspoon of oil (such as coconut or olive oil). Pour the mixture in, cover the pan and in a few minutes, when the pancake appears to be ready (the edges should be cooked), flip the pancake. When cooked, slide the pancake onto a plate and add your toppings.Yours in health,Meredith x
