A few years ago, I shared a simple recipe on YouTube that I like to call my Birthday Pancake. It’s a high-protein pancake that fits well into a structured nutrition plan and is easy to prepare with just a few ingredients.
Here’s the recipe exactly as I shared it.
Ingredients
- 300 g egg whites
- 1 whole egg
- Oatmeal (or oat flour)
- Flavor drops (optional)
- Optional: a leavening agent (such as baking soda) and a little lemon juice
Method
Start by whipping the egg whites until stiff.
Once the egg whites reach the right consistency, gently add the oatmeal and flavor drops. Mix slowly, using movements from the bottom up, being careful not to break down the egg whites.
If you want the pancake to be even softer, you can add a small amount of baking soda or another leavening agent, along with a bit of lemon juice.
Preheat a non-stick pan or casserole on low heat and pour in the batter. After about five minutes, crack one whole egg into the center of the pancake.
Continue cooking over low heat for around 15 minutes, or until the pancake is firm enough to turn. Flip it carefully and cook the other side until done.
Toppings
Once cooked, you can finish the pancake with:
- Zero-sugar sauces
- Peanut butter, if it fits within your nutrition plan
Simple ingredients, careful preparation, and patience on low heat are the key elements of this recipe.
Buon pancake, amici miei. 🥞💪
