It’s no secret that I am addicted to protein pancakes, and why shouldn’t I be? They are incredibly tasty, low in calories, high in fibre and protein and because they have a good balance of carbs, proteins and fats, they keep me full for hours. These are a great alternative to my Banana Bread Pancakes, which are another of my fave protein pancake creations.
They are also portable and taste great (even cold) the second – and even the third day, so they have become a staple in both my pre-competition and competition diet. My kids love them as well and never complain when I shove a few in their hands on their way out to catch the school bus.
For those macro counters or flex dieters out there, this recipe makes ten pancakes, and each pancake is 157 calories, 22 g of carbs, 11 g of protein and 2 grams of fat. I usually eat about two per meal, which gives me a nice 313 calorie meal with 45g carbs, 22g protein and 5g of fat. If you want a bit more fat, you can always spread some nut butter on top!
