I LOVE breakfast. It's like a warm hug in the morning.
My favorite has often been a classic American breakfast - which included eggs, bacon, toast and a pile of potatoes.
However, as I learned more about the nutrition my body needed and how I can support my daily activities based on what I ate, I started changing my routine.
These days, breakfast often involves a Protein Pancake next to a pile of fruits.
Many of you have been asking me to share my recipe so here it is:
Info:
Makes 4-6 ±5" wide pancakes
±10g protein per pancake
Ingredients:
1 cup sourdough discard*
2 scoops of Good Protein Moka protein powder
2 eggs
2/3 cup soy milk*
1/3 cup flour*
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Toss everything in a bowl
Mix well with a whisk so that there are no lumps of flour or protein powder
Turn the stove on medium high, oil a pan (I use coconut oil or butter depending on the day)
Once the pan is well heated, drop in about a ¾ cup of pancake mix into the pan
Let it cook until you see bubbles emerge on the top side, flip.
Cook for another 30 seconds or until browned and serve
*Notes
If you don't have sourdough discard, no worries - just increase the flour to 2/3 and the baking powder to 2 tsp
soy milk can be replaced with your milk of preference
flour can be replaced for equal amount in almond flour. Note that this will change the consistency a little bit and the pancake will have a tendency to break more.
With the sourdough starter that I now have, this has been a great recipe that is not only protein-dense but also a good way to use up sourdough discard that otherwise would be thrown out.
I always enjoy my pancake with a mountain of mixed fresh fruit and a dallop of plain greek yogurt. The whole meal is then filled with fiber, minerals, vitamins and protein.
I hope you enjoy!
