    I've only made the recipe using egg whites, and the final product comes out great.

    I just made this. Put the egg and banana in a small bowl and used a mixer. I beat it until fluffy, then I added the protein powder. I also added a bit of vanilla. I poured 1/2 into a heated saute pan that I sprayed with cooking spray. The texture is similiar to scrambled eggs that are a little tough. The vanilla gave it a hint of sweetness, and I threw some blueberries on top. It's not bad. I will make it again, but next time, I'll put it in a pie plate and bake it in the oven. I'm thinking that would make it more fluffy, and less tough.

    I think adding the blueberries helped me not notice the strange texture. It may be that I just turned it too much trying to see if it was done.

    After putting the other 1/2 into the pan, I see that turning it as little as possible will help keep it fluffy and I'm betting the second pancake will have a better texture.

    This makes two good sized pancakes. When I make it in the oven, I'll update :happy:

    This recipe is full of win. I used ON Double Chocolate. The mix thinned a bit on the way to work, but it still came out tasty.

    I've made protein "crepes" by doing this and LOVED them.

    Without a blender: Use a hand mixer if you have one or use a VERY ripe banana and mash it up, whisk egg separately and then combine (whisk the egg well for fluffy texture)

    Without a microwave: Oven would be the closest thing to replicating this

    Might have to try this for a quick & healthy snack!

    This scares me a little, but I have everything at my house already, so I'm going to go for it.

    Two servings of egg whites does the trick. For me, it's approximately 6 tbsp of Egg Beater egg whites (92g).

    This is divine! Added it to the database since it wasn't there. Will def make it often!


    I just looked this up in the database.

    One mug = 375 Calories?

    Is that correct?

    The only powder I have is the stuff I use for my meal replacement smoothies. Its "Right Size Lean Mean Cocoabean". Can I use that instead of whey or does it have to be the whey? I don't know the difference.

    Meal replacements tend to have more added fats when compared to a straight-up whey protein powder. If the fat isn't a deal breaker for you, the only real difference is in the texture of the puffycake. I've noticed it's a little more dry when you use a whey protein over a meal replacement protein. I actually prefer using a meal replacement protein in mine to get it..."puffier".

    Thanks :) I wanted to try whey at some point too but I have 200 LBs to lose , wasn't sure if that was something you don't start doing til you're ready to gain muscle/bulk up.

    Bump!

    I'm going to have to try this with chocolate and banana since that is the only flavor of protein that I brought with me to China! Maybe some peanut butter too?

    Oh my god! Anything with the word "cake" and I am in. I just bought to whey powder and have been wanting to experiment. I'm having this for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks!
