Similar to my Coconut Pancakes, these are also low carb. The difference is that they are lower in calorie and loaded with protein, making them a great option for breakfast or dessert! You can keep them low-carb by adding sugar-free toppings of your choice, or feel free to add classic maple syrup or chocolate syrup.

Special Equipment
1 Large Frying Pan
1 Large Mixing Bowl
1 Small Bowl
1 Spatula
1 Whisk
1tbsp Cookie Scoop or 1/4cup Measuring Utensil
Ingredients (US Standard)
Dry Ingredients
2 Scoops Low-Carb Vanilla Protein Powder (I recommend Quest for low carb and flavor. Collagen powder will not work for this recipe.)
1tsp Baking Powder
1/4tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
2 Large Eggs
1/4 Cup + 2tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
Additional Ingredients
Cooking Spray
Ingredients (Metric)
Dry Ingredients
60g Low-Carb Vanilla Protein Powder (I recommend Quest for low carb and flavor. Collagen powder will not work for this recipe.)
2.4g Baking Powder
1.4g Salt
Wet Ingredients
2 Large Eggs
89mL Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
Additional Ingredients
Cooking Spray
Method
In small bowl, use fork to combine all Dry Ingredients (Protein Powder, Baking Powder, Salt)
In large mixing bowl, use whisk to combine the Wet Ingredients (Eggs & Almond Milk)
Pour dry mixture from Step 1 to bowl of Wet Ingredients, and combine with whisk until no dry mixture remains. Try your best to remove any lumps. If mixture is too dry, add another tbsp (15mL) of Almond Milk.
Grease frying pan with cooking spray, and heat on Medium for 1-2 minutes. Use the cookie scoop or 1/4cup utensil to create your pancakes. Make sure they are spaced at least an inch (2.5cm) apart.
Cook for 60-90 seconds on one side before flipping (time may vary based on how hot your pan is - the top of the pancake will start to form bubbles in the same manner that typical pancakes do when they are ready to flip). Cook the opposite end for another 60 seconds, then plate.
Add toppings of choice (Sugar Free syrup, Whipped Cream, Butter, Dark Chocolate Chips, Fruit, etc. - also consider making a low carb chocolate ganache as seen in the Rich Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake recipe) and enjoy!
