Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes
Description
This recipe uses almond and coconut flours to provide structure and protein while Greek yogurt contributes moisture and richness. Baking powder is crucial for fluffiness as it creates air pockets during cooking. Egg whites add to the protein content and bind the ingredients.
Cooking pancakes covered in a nonstick pan ensures even heat and helps set the batter while maintaining moisture inside. The suggested cooking times allow the pancakes to brown on the first side before flipping and finishing the cooking gently.
Serving options include fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter, adding sweetness or richness as preferred. The pancakes are relatively small and puff up significantly, so portion sizes should be moderate.
The notes caution on heat management as yogurt-based batter can burn easily and highlight differences in pan performance. The recipe yields three pancakes and nutritional info is per pancake.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1.5 tbs coconut flour
- ⅓ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup egg white
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- One by one add in the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Heat a non stick pan just slightly over medium heat. Pour the batter into the pan and cover with a lid
- Cook until starting to brown on the bottom (about seven minutes). Flip and recover until cooked through (about another three minutes).
- Serve immediately topped with fruit, maple syrup or nut butter!
Notes
- Make pancakes small as they expand significantly when cooking.
- Monitor cooking closely and avoid high heat to prevent burning, as yogurt-based batter is sensitive to temperature.
- Pan types affect cooking; nonstick pans brown well covered, while ceramic pans may require different handling.
- Baking powder is essential for creating fluffy pancakes.
- The recipe yields three pancakes; nutritional information corresponds to one pancake.
