I woke up really early this morning because of a cough (allergies). After laying in bed wide awake forever and some more, I decided to finally get up and make breakfast. These fluffy, healthy, high protein and fiber pancakes made my morning much better.
These pancakes will be making their way into my mornings often.
Fluffy Coconut Protein Pancakes (Makes 1 Serving)
- 1 serving protein powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks
- 1 egg & 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (I think it would work without as well.)
- 50 ml (2 oz.) and 5 tablespoons of water
- Sweetener of choice (I used two packets of stevia)
- Dash of cinnamon (Optional)
1.) Preheat your stovetop to medium heat. Put some oil (I use olive oil) or non-stick spray in your pan to prevent batter from sticking. Pancake fails are no fun.
2.) Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix. Then add the wet ingredients and mix well.
3.) Take a heaping tablespoon of pancake batter and put it into your pan. Immediately spread the batter around a bit to form a circle, with a spoon. Flip the pancake once one side is done. Repeat this stage until all the batter is gone. It makes about 6 to 7 small pancakes.
4.) Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
If you make these, please take a picture and feel free to share it with me. :)
Do you have time during the week to make “fancy” breakfasts? Do you like baking with coconut flour? What did you do this weekend?
yuuuummmmyyy!!!
ReplyDeleteThese babies look so fluffy and delish!
Wow Shannon, these look amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOW, those look amazing! IHOP couldn't serve more perfect looking pancakes, of course yours are healthier {by far}. I usually have overnight oats or yoghurt with oats + fruit during the week just because it's quick to throw together but during the weekends I try to come up with creative and new breakfast ideas...I can't live on overnight oats every single day, no matter how good they may be!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of protein powder do you use?
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteFor this recipe I used a German protein powder. The brand is called "Layenberger". I just finished my last tub of protein powder from that brand and am going to try out some other ones. :)
These look fabulous! I love coconut flour, but every time I try making pancakes with it, they just don't cook all the way through and end up gloopy. I think I need to experiment more with my flour/liquid ratios...
ReplyDeleteOh, these look great! Do you think they'd work in a vegan version if I used flax or chia 'egg' as a substitute?
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica, thank you!
DeleteI've never tried making vegan pancakes before so I'm honestly not sure how they would turn out. You could try substituting all the non-vegan ingredients. If you do try it out, I would love to know how it turns out. :)
Sure! I'll have a go at making some tomorrow :D
DeleteThanks for replying!
i'm obsessed with coconut.. and these look delicious!! i don't have any psyllium husks on hand, though - is there something i could substitute for them or is it possible to leave them out?
ReplyDeleteHi Julianna! :)
DeleteThanks! I havent tried them without psyllium husks yet. I think it might work without, too. If you do try it without, be sure to let me know how it turns out. :)
They look SO fluffy and wonderful!! I have to make these asap. They'll be perfect for a fall morning :)
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I generally save pancakes for the weekend. Tried making some yesterday and it was a total fail! Will definitely try making these :)
ReplyDeleteWow Shannon, these look incredible! They are definitely fluffy :) I don't have time during the week for fancy breakfasts, but I do during the weekend, I will definitely be trying out this recipe soon!
ReplyDeleteThese pancakes look so great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese look yummy! As much as I love pancakes, I always crave overnight oats in the morning...and they are much quicker on a work day!
ReplyDeletepoor girl, having allergies is really annoying...
ReplyDeletenormally i don't have time for preparing a nice breakfast in the morning. i have to wake up at 5 or 5:30 in order to be on time :(
but now i have semester break :D:D
I usually use the microwave when it comes to breakfast...even on the weekends I'm lazy to make anything like pancakes on the stovetop!
ReplyDeleteMicrowave pancakes to the rescue! :P
hope you are feeling better now! i hate allergies (good that I don't have anyone ;))
ReplyDeleteI had many theatre rehearsels... we will perform this week so we still need to pratice :S
Your Pancakes look sooo good :)
And we should meet in the holidays again, what do you think?
Guess what I had for breakfast today :D
Hi Karina!
DeleteThank you, I'm feeling a lot better now. Good luck on you performance, I know you'll do great! :)
Yes! We should totally meet again. :)
Those pancakes look fantastic! I make pancakes (or one massive pancake) every friday morning as a reward of getting through the rough work week (I work from home on fridays). It's a great start to the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey look so great :D Looking at the batter I was a little unsure but they turned out perfect!!
