Description

Delight in these fluffy Strawberries and Cream Protein Pancakes, perfectly balanced with oat flour, a whey-casein protein blend, and creamy Greek yogurt. Lightly pink and studded with white chocolate chips, these pancakes offer a healthy, protein-packed breakfast or snack option topped with fresh strawberries and optional fat-free whipped cream and light syrup.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Oat flour (20g)
  • 1 scoop Whey / Casein blend protein powder (30g)
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch (9g)
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder (1g)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Liquid egg whites (60g)
  • 1/3 cup Fat free Greek yogurt (75g)
  • 1-2 tbsp Water (25g)
  • 3 drops Red food coloring

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/2 tbsp White chocolate chips (7g)
  • 1 Strawberry, sliced
  • Optional: Fat free whipped cream
  • Optional: Light pancake syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the oat flour, whey-casein protein powder, cornstarch, and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  2. Mix wet ingredients into dry: Pour in the liquid egg whites, fat free Greek yogurt, water, and red food coloring to the dry mixture. Gently mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing to prevent tough pancakes. Do not fold in the white chocolate chips at this stage.
  3. Heat the pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or pan over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot enough before cooking.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and do not fill back with batter.
  5. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Add chips and toppings: Once removed from the skillet, sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top of the warm pancakes. Add sliced strawberries, fat free whipped cream, and a drizzle of light pancake syrup as desired.

Notes

  • Use a whey-casein blend or pure casein protein powder; whey alone tends to be too dry for this recipe.
  • Flip the pancakes when bubbles begin to form and remain unchanged on the surface without filling in.
  • The pancakes will lose some of their pink coloration during cooking, which is normal.
  • Do not add white chocolate chips to the batter before cooking as they will burn and turn black.
