Recipe: Protein pancakes

Post-gym sugar-free chocolate protein pancakes

Ingredients:

For the pancake:

- 1/4 tsp baking powder

- 2 egg whites

- 4 tbsp milk (skimmed/ almond/coconut)

- 1 banana

- 1 tsp cinnamon powder

- 30g chocolate protein powder (or whatever flavour you want)

- Oil (rapeseed/coconut)

For the topping:
-Berries
-Syrup

Agave nectar is a great low glycemic index alternative to maple syrup, tasting very similar.

& maple syrup from myprotein.com is less than £5 and has zero sugar and fat. The taste is slightly unusual, so therefore I mix agave and this syrup for the top of the pancakes.

Method:

1) If you haven't already, separate the egg whites from the yolk.

2) Place the whites in a large bowl.

3) Whisk with an electric whisk until fluffy.

4) Put all the other ingredients (baking powder, milk, banana, cinnamon and protein) into a blender and blend until smooth.

5) Pour the protein mix slowly into the egg whites, and fold together. Do this gently to keep all the air bubbles.

6) Heat a small amount of the oil in a pan.

7) Add the pancake mix into round cirles and leave for about 1 minute until cooked on one side.

8) Flip the pancakes and cook for about another minute.

9) Stack up with berries and pour on the syrups
