Protein Powder Flatbreads - 2 basic ingredients!

1 Scoop Unflavored Protein Powder (I used Now Sports - Whey Protein Powder - Unflavored)
3 Egg whites
1 tsp garlic powder (not salt!)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper
You will need (for best results) a rubber spatula for spreading the batter as it cooks and a metal spatula to flip.
Mix all of the above. Divide into 1/3rd portions. Pour 1/3 onto a very hot (I used med-high setting on my burner), greased griddle (I used a round cast iron griddle and sprayed with PAM). Working quickly, as the bottom will begin to cook immediately, spread the batter toward the edges with the rubber spatula, making a round flat bread. make it fairly thin,as it puffs while cooking. Check under the edges to see if the bottom is golden - this is kind of a feel-it-out recipe.
Flip carefully and brown the other side. This should make 3 decent-sized crepe-like flatbreads with an italian-herb-garlic flavor. You'll be surprised what a good sub for breads this is, and it holds up pretty well to most cold cuts (I like lean turkey) and even a bit of tuna salad rolled up. You can't fold them burrito-style like a tortilla, but they work for simple fillings and the stats are waaaaaay better and much lower in carbs/higher in protein than tortillas.
You can use your imagination and flavor however you want. It's a pretty blank slate. This was inspired by JennJenn1211's fitness pancakes, but with a savory twist!
Here are the stats per flatbread:
Calories: 55
Carbs: 1 gram
Fat: 0 grams
Protein: 12 grams
Edited to add: You can also, for a little extra calories, grate carrots, zucchini or what have you into this to make a bulkier flat bread.

Those sound great ty for sharing0

You're welcome! I will try to post a picture next time I make these.0

Bumping to check back for a pic.....would love an easy flatbread with almost no carbs, but that tastes good.0
-
Oh my word. THANK YOU! These were brilliant.
Ok, they're not exactly like bread - more a crispy flatbread (reminded me of indian roti/dosa - need to try this with cilantro and indian spices would be fabulous).
Protein powder (soya isolate natural) 1/3 scoop (33 cal) + one egg white (17 cal) + one-cal oil spray for frying (4 cal) = 44 calories!!
Here they are with my pesto-turkey breast lunch. I think I'd need to double quantities and make it larger/flatter to use as a wrap.

Thank you for the pictures! I will still try and post some myself.
These aren't bread, that's for sure, but for me they satisfy the bulky/carby craving with almost NO carbs. I try and make mine as thin as humanely possible so that they are able to be wrapped.
I'm going to try indian spices! Bet that would be great with a low-fat curry chicken salad!
I thought of trying this as a pizza base, but it wouldn't be a base you could pick up - more like eat-it-with-a-fork pizza. I might still try it...0 -

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!0

BUMP!
I've been looking for something like this!0 -
Thanks for sharing this! Always looking for something to substitute for bread. Ground flax seed powder mixed with egg works pretty good for wraps too!0

I'm going to try tonight.0

bump! I need to keep this recipe!0

Bump! So I made these again, bigger (2 egg whites, 2/3 scoop (60g) of soya protein powder). This time "pizza" style with mixed herbs, garlic granules and a smear of tomato puree topped with a fried egg + hot sauce.
Could easily do a more traditional pizza with cheese and pizza sauce, pretty sure it would be delicious!

I make something similar with oats ground into flour. Never would have guessed it could hold up without the oats, but I'll definitely be trying this0
-
Oh, sweet!
I'll have to try this!0 -
thanks!0

Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try this!0

I have to buy some unflavored protein powder but I will be trying this. I only have Jay Robb Vanilla protein whey powder, that will not taste good right?0
