KETO PANCAKES
INGREDIENTS
-
2 Eggs, separated (make sure none of the yolk gets into the white!)
-
1/2 Cup liquid egg whites or egg substitute (or go old school with 4 fresh egg whites)
-
1/2 Cup buttermilk
-
1 Tsp vanilla extract
-
1 Tbsp unflavored or vanilla protein powder
-
1/4 Cup coconut flour
-
1 Tsp baking powder
-
Pinch of cinnamon
-
1 packet of Splenda or Stevia
-
Butter or oil for ultimate non-stick action
Serve with fruit of choice and coconut
METHOD
-
Beat the egg whites (from the whole egg) with a pinch of salt until they have soft peaks. For the lazy (me), use a hand mixer with whisk attachment.
-
Mix the buttermilk, egg yolks, liquid egg whites, and vanilla extract in a bowl (make sure it is mixed well).
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined!
-
Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter; make sure not to deflate the whites!
-
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
-
For each pancake, lightly grease the pan with butter.
-
Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, moving slightly to distribute batter.
-
Cook until bubbles are visible on top, then flip the pancake over and cook until the other side is golden brown.
