Protein Pancakes!

High Fibre- High Protein Healthy Pancakes

Looking for a health treat to have when your craving something sweater for your breaky or to mix things up? A great post workout treat also instead of your regular protein shake. Careful there addictive! If you are on a strictly low-carb eating plan you can remove the oats/quinoa and add more protein powder/cottage cheese/almond meal. Play with the ratios to your own taste :)


Ingredients (1 female serve)
  • 1/3 cup egg whites
  • 40g cottage cheese
  • Tablespoon Quinoa flakes or gluten free organic oats (optional)
  • 1 small scoop WPI 20g (i used chocolate and banana)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbs raw cocoa powder (optional)
  • 10g (approx tablespoon) almond meal or flakes
  • 1 tsp almond butter or natural peanut butter
  • Dash vanilla extract

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowel.

Heat a very hot pan and light spray olive oil or coconut oil.
Cook till golden, serve warm :)



Double the serve size for males, remember if your having this post workout you can also top with some fresh fruit or natural yoghurt.
I made this for my boyfriend and doubled the serve size topped it with natural yoghurt and cottage cheese and shredded coconut with a dash of cinnamon, he loved it! Found it very filling!
