Ingredients
- 20 g ¼ cup oat flour
- 30 g 1 scoop vanilla whey/casein blend protein powder
- 9 g 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 g ¼ tsp baking powder
- 60 g ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- 75 g ⅓ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 25 g 2 tbsp water
- 3 drops red food coloring optional
- 7 g 1 tbsp white chocolate chips (gluten-free if needed)
- Optional toppings: ¼ cup sliced strawberries 1 tbsp fat-free whipped cream, 1 tsp light syrup
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, I combine 20g oat flour, 30g vanilla protein powder, 9g cornstarch, and 1g baking powder, whisking until blended for a smooth Strawberries and Cream Protein Pancakes base.
Add Wet Ingredients
- I add 60g egg whites, 75g Greek yogurt, 25g water, and 3 drops red food coloring (if using) to the dry mix. I stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep these nutritious pancake bites fluffy.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
- I fold in 7g white chocolate chips for a creamy touch in these healthy breakfast stacks, saving toppings for after cooking.
Cook the Pancakes
- I heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing if needed. I pour ¼ cup batter per pancake, cooking 1–2 minutes per side until bubbles form and edges set, making 4 fluffy protein flapjacks.
Add Toppings
- I top with ¼ cup sliced strawberries, 1 tbsp whipped cream, and 1 tsp light syrup (if using) for a decadent high-protein breakfast.
Serve
- I serve these nutritious pancake bites warm, savoring their fluffy, strawberry-and-cream flavor straight from the skillet.
Notes
- You must use a whey casein blend or just casein. Whey protein is too dry for this recipe
- When bubbles start to form and don’t fill in with batter it’s time to flip the pancakes
- The pancakes will lose some of their pink hue on the top and bottom from cooking, this is normal!
- If you add in the white chocolate chips to the batter and try to cook the pancakes with them they will turn black and burn. Don’t do this!
