This is a very quick and easy recipe I learned from Greg Doucette. Click here to see his video of the recipe. It’s a great example of a healthy alternative to a popular breakfast food that allows you to eat healthier without feeling like you’re on a diet.
You’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (use whatever bread you want)
- a cap of vanilla extract
- 2 or 3 spanks of cinnamon (tilt container to one side and spank that bottom)
- 1 tsp of xanthan gum (this makes it fluffy)
- 1 tsp of stevia (or use more if you want it sweeter)
- 2 cups of liquid egg whites
- Optional: Protein powder of your choice
1. Shove all the ingredients into a blender.
2. This is what it looks like after blending. I added chocolate protein powder to mine so yours might be a different color.
3. Heat up a skillet and spray your oil of choice. I use coconut oil spray. Transfer the batter to the skillet using a batter transferring receptacle such as a spoon. I use medium heat and cook about 2 and a half to 3 minutes on each side. How hot and long you cook it is totally up to you. If you overcook it the pancake will become rubbery.
4. For toppings, my favorite is to heat frozen blueberries in the microwave for about 20 seconds. The blueberry liquid mixes well with syrup.
5. For syrup, I can't recommend Walden Farms enough. They have 2 flavors: pancake and maple walnut and they're both amazing. Seriously, try it out if you get a chance. I've tried the equivalent sugar free syrup from my local grocery store and it was flavorless. If you're put off from sugar free syrups in the past I think Walden Farms will change your mind. It has been a game changer for me.
6. Another technique for adding fruit to your pancake is to add it into the batter in the pan before you flip it. Like this:
