Protein Powder Pancakes ?

ottermotorcycle

So you know those articles you read that say "just make a paste with the protein powder and water!"

Those are gross.
They're gross.
Also they burn easily and the texture is terrible.
I've tried them with a number of powders and not once did they come out good.
Gross.

So! Does anyone have a better solution? Some ratio of protein powder to real pancake mix? Grinded up oats? I imagine an egg would help? Plain greek yogurt? How do you make yours?

1 large egg white
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup protein powder (lately I've been using vanilla whey)
1 tsp baking powder
6oz plain greek yogurt
Fruit for flavor, I've been mashing a banana into it recently but i've used all kinds of berries, mangoes, pineapples, etc in the past)

Smash all that together, cook them over lower heat than you would regular pancakes. This makes a pretty big stack

1/3 cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup oats, 1 scoop protein, 1/2 Tsp baking powder, 1/4 cup almond milk. Blend together tin blender. Spoon onto griddle at a low temp.

I top them with more protein mixed with almond milk or warmed up berries

I do KSK511's recipe but I use a full serving of protein powder.

Fruit is good mixed with it. I tried dark chocolate acai berries the other day...they were ridiculous! It's fun to experiment with them. I use optimum nutrition cookies and cream right now but I was using trutein chocolate peanut butter cup.

I used my Trutein Cinnabun or Pumpkin Pie powder, which gave it all the flavor, but my recipe is:
1 scoop of powder
4 eggs
3 oz. plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp butter for the pan

Makes a decent amount and sometimes I share it but macros are:

This is what I do. It's pretty good. Make small pancakes so they get done all the way through. I get 6 in a batch.

The other day I made some Protein Pancakes

1/3 cup Bisquick Heartsmart (140 cals)
1 Scoop Protein Powder (170 cal)
1 jumbo egg [all I had on hand, ended up being 65g] (96 cal)
Unsweetened Almond Milk [I forget how much exactly it was, but it was a bit over half a cup] (19 cal)

425 Calories/ 42g Protein/ 36g carbs/ 14g Fat

It made 4 Large pancakes. That tasted way better than the "just add water and protein powder!" BS that's going around. Actually tasted like a pancake, God forbid.

Used some Mrs Buttersworth Lite (90 cal) to make it 515 calories total.

I've done this and a few of the varieties from above! Yum! Instead of syrup, I use a little Agave

My old trainer gave me this recipe. You can leave out the Splenda. I like them with a good protein powder (I've done vanilla and chocolate but vanilla was the best).

1 scoop protein powder, ½ cup oats, 2 egg whites, cinnamon and splenda! Mix together and fry like a pancake! (her typing, not my exclaimation points)

kristarablue2

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (could use cake batter or cinnabon flavored too and it would be yummy)
2 egg whites
1/4 cup hot water
cinnamon
Almond extract (just a splash)

mix oatmeal and hot water together and let oats cook for 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients, cook on a skillet. Makes 4 each pancake has about 82 calories (but this will depend on your protein powder).

I have had no problem cooking these, they taste great and come out nice every time. In saying that, they are not as light and fluffy as regular pancakes but are really very good.

I used Vanilla

Someone (from here, no less) told me that protein powder shouldn't be heated. I was asking about using it in oatmeal and they told me to add it after the oatmeal had cooked. I don't know if thats accurate or not, but I'd love to try protein powder pancakes

I bake with it all the time.

It can curdle if you add it straight to hot coffee-- maybe that's what they meant?

Protein powder is processed.
