Easy Low Carb Recipes - Protein Pancakes

Entering stage 2 of your Low Carb WOE is where things can get a little more adventurous. 
 

For my first few weeks in stage 2 (3rd and 4th week onwards of continuous Low Carb) I decided to play around with adding protein shakes/powders into my diet. 

My main reason for choosing to do this is that I don't like most lean meats and I wasn't hitting anywhere near my protein goal of 106g a day.

 

Ingredients:

3 eggs
45g protein powder (Low Carb powder)
1/4 tsp Baking Powder

0.5tsp Olive Oil

2tbsp liquid (water, heavy whipping cream, unsweetened almond/coconut milk).

Optional ingredients:

Sugar free chocolate chips

Chopped Nuts (low carb only)
Small amounts of berries
Sugar free syrup

Equipment:

Large bowl/Jug

Whisk

Frying pan 

Spoons / Scales / Scoop

                                                        

Beat your eggs in the bowl/jug, add 2tbsp water(other liquid ingredients) until mixed thoroughly and then add your Baking Powder, optional ingredients and Protein powder to the mix gradually to avoid lumps. Continue to mix for 1-2 minutes until the consistency is thick and even.

Heat your pan and add 0.5tsp of Olive Oil. Pour required amount of pancake mixture into the pan and fry on each side for around a minute or until solidified throughout.
