High-Protein Pancakes

These are some lean-muscle-building pancakes. They taste great with or without toppings, but let's be real... you're gonna want some syrup because...pancakes!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Scoops Protein Powder (my fav. is Nutriva Vanilla Organic Plant Protein Powder)
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• Pinch of salt
• 2 eggs (whisked)
• 1/4 C Milk (dairy or non-dairy. I used unsweetened soymilk)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Pre-heat a greased, non-stick skillet on the stove on medium heat
• Whisk Protein Powder, Baking Powder, and Salt together
• Add whisked Eggs 
• Add enough milk to thin the batter to "pancake consistency"
• Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet
• Flip the pancake when bubbles start to form 
• Take off the heat when both sides are golden brown

BAKER'S NOTES

• The type of protein you use will influence how much milk is needed. For instance, I found that I needed a lot less milk when I used Whey protein vs. Pea protein)
• Get creative! I've made this recipe with strawberry protein powder, peanut butter protein powder and vanilla protein powder. All were delicious and all inspired different add-ins.
• On the topic of add-ins and add-ons - the sky is the limit! Here are some suggestions for add-ins: fruit, dried fruit, preserves, chocolate chips, cream cheese. And for add-ons: Syrup (classic!), preserves, coconut oil, butter, ghee, peanut butter ect. These are quite versatile and you may find that (depending on the type of protein powder you use), you may need no additional add-ins or ons.
