Servings: 3 pancakes
Calories: 263kcal
Ingredients
- 1 whole egg
- ¼ cup part-skim ricotta 63g
- ¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder 23g
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour 2.3g
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle over a low flame.
- Beat the egg, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Wait until the griddle is hot enough (when drops of water sizzle up).
- Pour some batter on on the griddle (smaller pancakes flip more easily), and flip when you see lots of bubbles rising to the top of the pancake.
- Cook for about one more minute on the other side.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you've finished your batter.
- Stack, and enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe.
