Rubriik: LCHF

Low carb vanilla protein pancakes (dairy-free version)

Published on by Margit ParteiLisa kommentaar

This a dairy-free version of my protein pancakes. Makes enough for a whole meal for one person or dessert for two.

Drizzled with 8 grams of 85% dark chocolate.

What do you need?

  • 25 grams of protein powder

  • 2 eggs

  • 10 grams of oil or melted butter (for frying)

  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

  • water 

  • sweetener

  • vanilla extract

 

How to make them?

Get a pan preheating to medium high heat.

Whisk up your eggs well. Add protein powder and mix really well until there are no lumps. Now add in baking powder and vanilla extract (if you want, you can also play up the recipe with some seasonings like cinnamon, cocoa powder, gingerbread spice for Christmas or pumpkin spice for Halloween). Mix well. Start adding water teaspoon at a time until you have a normal pancake batter consistency. Taste the batter: if it needs to be sweeter, add some sweetener to your taste.

Start frying the pancakes with some oil or butter. You can make them small or big, it’s up to you. The taste is still great.

Serve as is, with melted chocolate, berries, nuts, whipped cream, nut butter, ricotta cream, cream cheese or whatever else you can imagine.

 

Enjoy!

Food Friday 1.11.2013

On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all.

This Friday was hectic. I had powerwalking to do in the morning and some everyday errands to run in the city. So my first meal was really late. After that I went to the library to study and hence had a late dinner.

 

1st meal: 12.30 PM

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 slices of bacon

  • 10 grams of flax seeds

  • 2 slices of cheese

  • 10 grams of butter

  • 25 grams of blue cheese

  • 25 grams of weird green cheese (the name had something to do with sage… can’t remember and threw the package away)

  • caffeine-free tea

 

2nd meal: 8 PM

  • 250 grams of minced salmon

  • 200 grams of vegetable mix

  • 20 grams of butter

  • 25 grams of blue cheese

  • 100 grams of raw cabbage (not on the picture)

 

All together about 1750 kcal. I usually don’t eat peas and carrots but the mix was on sale and I thought what the hell, I’m going to buy that one. A few pieces of root vegetables and legumes a couple of times a month won’t kill me although they aren’t really LCHF. The macros aren’t perfect, I have usually had better fat-protein ratios this week. I had a lot of butter and still craved more. Is craving (cold) butter weird? I think so…

 

Next Food Friday in a week!
