Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour 56g
- 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder approximately 60g
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk 60ml
- 1 tsp baking powder 4g
- ½ tsp cinnamon 1g
- 1 tbsp granulated erythritol 12g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite low-carb toppings such as sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Notes
Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite protein powder flavor or add-ins like chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at a low temperature while you finish cooking the rest.
