Do you ever wake up and just crave pancakes? We do! However, pancakes aren’t the greatest if your aim is a healthy diet so why not try our easy protein pancake recipe- perfect to satisfy those morning cravings!
As a ‘healthy diet’ has become a trend over the past decade, with lots of people jumping on the band wagon. However, a lot of protein powders contain sweeteners and other preservatives that stop the body from burning ketones (chemicals that burn energy). When your body is in a state of ketosis (burning ketones), you are burning fat rather than burning carbohydrates and storing fat but most sweeteners will still keep you in the carbohydrate burning mode… not good, right?
Well before you panic, there are many ways to stay within ketosis: intermittent fasting and a keto diet are two prime examples. However, not everyone wants to do a special diet or not be allowed to eat when they want to. Frankly, at RYL that is not a vibe. So making small changes to your original diet can help your body to burn ketones for longer… that’s where our easy protein pancake recipe comes in! You can enjoy these pancakes relatively guilt free!
INGREDIENT NOTES
Rolled oats- we blend these oats into a flour in order to create a smoother consistency.
Protein powder- we recommend using a whey protein powder however you could use a plant protein powder if you are vegan but will need to balance it out with more milk to create a thinner texture. Make sure the powder you use doesn’t contain any sweeteners! Click here for a keto friendly whey protein powder.
Eggs- we use chicken eggs however, flax eggs would be an appropriate vegan substitute.
Milk- if you were to change this recipe to vegan, a milk substitute would work for the recipe (we recommend almond or oat milk).
Greek Yoghurt- make sure to use fat free milk.
Butter- you can use olive oil or coconut oil instead.
