What’s in Healthy Protein Pancakes

I’m not sure what everyone else does, but here’s what I put in mine:

1/2 cup brown rice flour (because who needs the white stuff?)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (to give your pancakes a rise and shine moment)
1 scoops of vanilla protein powder (for that extra muscle flex)
2 tablespoons Truvia – (sweetness without the sugar drama)
4 egg whites (the pancake party’s protein posse)
1 1/2 cups fat-free cottage cheese (creamy goodness without the guilt)
Zest of 1 lemon, plus the juice (because pancakes need a zest for life!)

What pancakes would be complete without a little sauce? So here’s the strawberry sauce:

1/4 cup strawberries, sliced (for the berry best topping)
1 tablespoons Truvia – (just sweetness, no sugar chaos)
2 tablespoons water (to keep things saucy)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a touch of magic)

How to make Healthy Protein Pancakes

Get your mixing bowl ready for the ultimate pancake party. Whisk together the brown rice flour, baking powder, vanilla protein powder, and Truvia until they’re mingling well. Next, use your favorite blender to whip up the remaining ingredients. I use my Ninja, which is about 10 years old and still going strong!

Then next step is a classic, and nothing new as far as pancakes go. Heat up a non-stick skillet or griddle and hit it with a tiny bit of cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Let them sizzle and bubble until they’re golden brown and flipping-ready. Flip, cook about another 2 – 3 minutes, top with sauce, and enjoy! This recipe will make about 14 pancakes, serving 2 people.
