Within the past few months, I’ve made a personal effort to consume more protein. It isn’t at all a matter of me not enjoying protein, because I’m a meat feign; rather, because I have increased my physical activity and another rugby season is approaching, I figure it might do me some good to build up more muscle and become stronger overall.
Protein pancakes are a creation that have always intrigued me, but I’ve never actually made any for myself, or have tried them, for that matter. But, because I like pancakes, I figure these would, too, fit my preference, so I wanted to share a recipe with all of you. This one comes from thebigmansworld.com.
“Easiest Protein Pancakes
“Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 3 small eggs
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
“Instructions
- Blend the oats in a blender or food processor until it reaches a flour texture. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Add some oil to a non-stick skillet and place it over medium-high heat.
- Drop ¼ cup portions of the batter onto the skillet. Cook the pancakes until the bubbles appear on the surface. Lift and flip the pancake and cook for another minute.
- Repeat the process until all the pancakes are cooked,” the web page explains.
Aside from the protein powder, this recipe requires ingredients I would wager you already have in your pantry. Perhaps assuming you own coconut oil is a bold one, but I’m giving you all the benefit of the doubt here.
These pancakes offer 10g of protein each, and they keep in the fridge for up to five days after making them. If you’re into bulk (no pun intended) and want to freeze some, that is okay, too; just place some wax paper in-between each pancake so they don’t fuse into one mammoth one.
