Protein Pancakes Recipe (Medi-Weightloss Friendly)

These light, fluffy pancakes are low in carbs, packed with protein, and perfect for a healthy breakfast that feels like an indulgence.


Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired batter consistency)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • Cooking spray or 1/2 tsp olive oil

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
  • Sugar-free syrup or a sprinkle of powdered stevia

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the protein powder, baking powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust almond milk for the desired consistency.
  2. Preheat the Pan
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil.
  3. Cook the Pancakes
    • Pour the batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Serve
    • Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite low-carb, Medi-Weightloss-friendly toppings like fresh berries or sugar-free syrup.
