Makes 4Ingredients
- 50 g flour
- 1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Chocolate)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 egg white
- 20 g sweetener
- 150 ml almond milk
- 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
- Optional toppings: white choc chips, raspberries
Instructions
First, create your pancake batter by adding the flour, protein powder, baking powder, egg white, sweetener, and cocoa powder to a bowl and stirring well.
Add the almond milk bit by bit, stirring thoroughly, until you get a cake batter consistency.
Now, pour the protein pancake mix into moulds (a large ice cube mould is ideal) and top with your favourite toppings. Kiki uses chunks of white chocolate and raspberries for hers.
Freeze overnight (or for as long as you need).
When ready to use, add to a greased frying pan and fry the pancakes for a few minutes on each side until cooked.
Plate up and enjoy.
