Super Healthy Pancakes

Holidays are wonderful.  Afternoon naps, spontaneous catch ups with friends, duets... And I can take as long as I like to eat breakfast.  I'm a slow eater.

Jeannie gave me this recipe for super healthy pancakes, which I tried out today.  Warning: it's really complicated.  Mix together an egg, a tablespoon of protein powder, a tablespoon of hazelnut or almond meal, and 2 tablespoons of water.  Cook as you would a normal pancake - but take care as they go crispy quite quickly.

I made 2 thin pancakes out of this recipe.  The first one - well, it wasn't very attractive.  When I figured it was time to flip, it refused to budge so ended up looking more like a scramble.  The second one, then, I put a lid on the pan and kept checking it every 10 seconds or so.  Success!  As the recipe only contains proteins and fats, I sliced a pear on top for the carbohydrate component.  I'm yet to work out a good coordination of making coffee, so more practice is required.  Maybe Friday mornings during term time...

These holidays have flown by - but I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's New Thing!

  1. These are very similar to my Big Momma Pancakes! They are super yummy and very good for you! The only difference is that mine uses 1/4 cup rolled oats, 3 egg whites, 1/4 cup water & a scoop of protein powder. You process the rolled oats in a food processer then add the rest and cook away! I make mine with chocolate protein powder, and serve with Black Swann breakfast yoghurt & strawberries or frozen berries if strawberries are out of season. I'll have to give this version a go!
