The Ultimate Nutrex ISOFit Protein Pancakes
These pancakes are light, fluffy, and packed with muscle-building power. Perfect for a post-workout refuel or a healthy start to your day.
Ingredients:
-
1 scoop (approx. 28g) Nutrex ISOFit 100% Whey Protein (vanilla or chocolate work great!)
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended!)
-
Pinch of salt
-
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
1/4 cup egg whites (or 1 whole egg)
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice (adjust to your taste)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using unflavored protein, or just for extra oomph!)
-
Coconut oil or cooking spray for the pan
Instructions:
-
Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Nutrex ISOFit protein powder, flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Whisk everything together thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
-
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg whites (or whole egg), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will result in fluffier pancakes!
-
Heat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or cooking spray.
-
Cook Your Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
-
Stack 'Em High and Enjoy! Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Topping Ideas to Elevate Your Protein Pancakes:
-
Fresh Berries: A handful of blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries adds natural sweetness and antioxidants.
-
Greek Yogurt: A dollop of plain Greek yogurt boosts the protein even further and adds a creamy tang.
-
Nut Butter Drizzle: A spoonful of almond, peanut, or cashew butter provides healthy fats and extra flavor.
-
Sugar-Free Syrup: For those watching their sugar intake.
-
Dark Chocolate Chips: A few sprinkles can satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your goals (especially if you used chocolate Nutrex ISOFit!).
-
A Sprinkle of Chopped Nuts: For added crunch and healthy fats.
