Vanilla Pancakes (Protein)

vanillaproteinpancakesA protein packed stack of pancakes that have no oats or bananas, are gluten-free, keto and low carb friendly. But the best part is that they have a whopping 40g of protein per serving and only 300 calories.

2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream or plain full-fat Greek Yogurt
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder (39 g)
1 tsp. baking powder
butter, or coconut oil for greasing the pan

Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or use a little butter or coconut oil and let melt.

Mix the eggs, protein powder, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the sour cream or Greek Yogurt and mix to combine.

Using a ¼ cup measure, pour out the batter into the skillet. I was able to make 3 at a time. They are ready to flip when bubbles start to form on the top and around the edges are set.

Serve with butter, sugar free syrup, and chocolate chips or blueberries.

Makes 2 servings.

Cook's Notes:

  • Liquid: Originally this recipe used water or almond milk as the liquid. But I found them too dry. I discovered that the only way around this is to include fat in the batter. Now I use either ½ cup (120g) of full-fat sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt in place of the liquid.
  • Protein Pancakes for 1: This recipe is really easy to cut in half and make just one serving.
  • The nutrition listed is for protein pancakes using the Premiere Vanilla Whey Protein powder and sour cream.
