Yeah, after a whole week of lean meat and egg whites for breakfast I was a hair short of a complete meltdown this weekend…thankfully, pancakes never fail to make everything–EVERYTHING–better.
I got my tub of Simply Pure Nutrients protein powder in the mail on Friday and ever since I’ve been going positively nuts trying to find every conceivable way to put it in everything–it’s THAT GOOD. It’s got a coconut base and more fat than your run-of-the-mill protein powder, but I think that’s why it actually tastes good. Funny how that works.
INGREDIENTS
(Serves 1)
1 1/2 T Coconut Flour
1 scoop Protein Powder (I use Simply Pure Nutrients Pro3 Synergy Fuel)
4 Egg Whites
1/4 t Baking Soda
1/2 t Vanilla
Toppings of Choice
INSTRUCTIONS
Beat your egg whites until frothy. Add the coconut flour, protein powder, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Heat a *lightly* greased skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 c batter onto skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
For the topping pictured, heat 1/2 c blueberries in the microwave for 30 seconds. Let cool slightly and pour over pancakes.

I’ll give this a try tomorrow for breakfast! Hey, so does it HAVE to be egg whites?
i could lean out a bit… you know that tummy is hard headed!
I can keep to the egg whites in solidarity though!
By all means, use whole eggs! I’m doing the bodybuilding thing so I’m going with just the whites **for now**…make sure you only use 2 whole eggs for this recipe!
Is the nutrition info for only one pancake? How many pancakes does this batter make?
no its for the whole recipe
What can I use instead of the protein powder? Or will the consistency even be affected without it?
Hm, I believe it would, but you can try tapioca starch or arrowroot…I’d expect it to be a little on the dry side, though
