Ingredients
  

  • 30 g plant protein of choice (see body of post for tips)
  • 50 g nut butter of choice (see notes for alternatives)
  • 2 extra large eggs (45-55g each without shell) use divided
  • 1 tablespoon* maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon* of neutral flavoured oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 10-40 ml milk of choice
  • Oil or butter to cook

Instructions
 

  • Whisk to combine the protein powder, nut butter, 1 egg, maple syrup and oil in a small mixing bowl.
  • Separate the second egg by placing the yolk in the protein bowl and the white in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
  • Whisk the yolk into the protein mixture, then assess the texture. If it’s really thick, add milk until it reaches a medium consistency yoghurt thickness.
  • Use hand beaters to beat the second egg white until medium peaks form. This should only take a minute or two.
  • Once the eggs are whipped, use a spatula to carefully fold the egg whites into the pancake mixture. I do half the egg whites straight up, then the second half after incorporating the first half.
  • Preheat a pan for a minute or so to stop the pancakes from sticking or spreading too much. Once preheated, add the oil and 1-2 large spoonfuls of pancake batter at a time. This batter makes 3-5 pancakes roughly the size of your palm. Cook for a minute or so on the first side, adjusting the heat as necessary. Flip and cook for about a minute more, or until just cooked through.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter and serve with maple syrup, butter, berries or yoghurt (or all of the above).

Notes

  • These pancakes will only be just sweet if you use a pure protein powder. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup if you like things sweet. If you're using a sweetened protein powder, the pancakes will be sweet. 
  • I have successfully tested cottage cheese in place of the nut butter. I daresay yoghurt would also work too.
