Protein Pancakes with Mixed Berries

Ingredients

• Whey protein powder 1 scoop (30g)
• Rolled oats 1/4 cup (20g)
• Egg whites 3 large
• Mixed berries 1/2 cup (75g)
• Baking powder 1/2 teaspoon

Method

1. Prepare Ingredients. Gather all ingredients. If using frozen berries, let them thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly. Separate egg whites from yolks carefully, placing whites in a clean bowl.
   Tip: Use a clean, dry bowl for egg whites to help them whip better if needed.
2. Make the Batter. In a blender or food processor, add rolled oats and blend until they become a fine flour. Add whey protein powder, baking powder, and egg whites. Blend everything together until smooth and well combined.
   Tip: If you don’t have a blender, you can finely grind oats with a rolling pin and mix all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.
3. Heat the Pan. Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
   Tip: Test pan temperature by sprinkling a drop of water; it should sizzle gently.
4. Cook the Pancakes. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan to form each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
   Tip: Use a thin spatula to flip gently to avoid breaking the pancakes.
5. Serve with Berries. Place cooked pancakes on a plate and top with mixed berries. Optionally, add a drizzle of honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
   Tip: Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Pro tips
