    I would follow the previous mentioned recipes if those calories work for you. I use the following for 1 serving of pancakes. Usually makes enough batter for 2 medium sized pancakes.

    1 scoop of protein powder
    5g of baking powder
    46g of egg whites
    discretionary amount of water.

    Mix the powders and egg whites together, then slowly add a little water until the consistency is right.

    145 calories
    2.5g carbs
    1.5g fat
    29g of protein.

    Calories are so low, you can easily double the recipe. But again, the previous mentioned pancakes sound like they taste better lol. I like these, and I use Pescience Protein which is pretty sweet already so I don't think it needs any sugar added.

    Can these be made into waffles also? I have this adorable waffle maker I just bought even tho I don't cook. I have a problem. :)

    Also, how much water in general to add for the consistency?

    Thanks! I remember seeing the recipe before but think I nixed trying it because I'd have to buy the coconut flour that I would probably only use once and it's a semi big hit on fiber (I keep it low).

    I don't see why not, though I've never attempted. I always eyeball the water. But if I had a gun to my head, I would say about 40g of water. I just add a little, stir and then if it's still too thick add a little more.

    Cool. I'll try that. :)

    Here’s my recipe (makes 4):
    50g oat flour (pulverise the oats)
    25g vanilla protein powder
    1 egg
    100ml skimmed milk
    Sprinkle of cinnamon

    Mix all together and I have with Greek yoghurt and fruit for brekkie. 2 pancakes with the yoghurt easily gives me c25g of protein 😀

    Is this 50g before turning it to flour?

    Yep, but it should weigh the same anyway? So you could always make the oat flour in bulk if that’s easier.
