High Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk protein concentrate*
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1  3/4 cups milk
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg

*We encourage you to try other proteins from milk in this recipe as well, simply substitute in place of the called-for protein. Please keep in mind that the nutritional analysis is based on the protein listed in the ingredient list.

Directions

Step 1

Combine together the milk protein concentrate, flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.

Step 2

Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that’s okay).

Step 3

The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.

Step 5

When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
