Filling & decadent with antioxidants for nicer skin and protein for muscle definition & leaner physique
Protein Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
Delicious and filling, blueberries are packed with antioxidants – and this incredible pancake is made without flour! Just pure protein powder for muscle repair and lean definition. One of my go-to favorites.
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (non-dairy)
- 2 eggs – I use organic
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Splash of water
- Olive oil cooking spray
Blueberry compote
- 2 cups blueberries – fresh or frozen
- 2 tsp honey
- Squeeze of lemon + splash of water
- 1 tsp cornstarch + ¼ c water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan (no heat yet!) place the blueberries, honey, squeeze of lemon and splash of water (about 1 TB). Mix to incorporate & set it aside to macerate while preparing pancake mixture.
Pancakes:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, eggs and baking powder.
- Add just enough water to make the mixture into a pancake consistency.
- Set aside and return to blueberry mixture to make the compote.
Blueberry Compote
- Place saucepan with blueberries on medium heat, stirring to cook the berries.
- I squish the berries a little to push the process, but I’m really impatient.
- In a small dish, make a slurry from the cornstarch and water. This is what thickens the compote!
- Raise heat to medium-high, pouring a LITTLE of the slurry in at a time – while whisking. Mix until it’s the desired consistency that you like. Set aside.
- Now, just cook the pancakes. Basic. Non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Spray with a little cooking spray & cook ‘em up. Divide evenly between 2 plates, slathering with the blueberries!
Notes
- Whole-Food Plant-Based eating allows for some limited dairy, eggs or meat, for that matter. While we do steer clear of meat and dairy, you may see an egg or 2 from time to time 😉
- Option: Try slathering pancakes with PB Fit, Peanut Butter Powder. 90% less fat then regular peanut butter! It’s delicious! Check it out here.
- I usually save the 2nd serving for later. Just heat pancakes and compote in the microwave. Great protein snack and literally feels like you’re in bizzaro-land where there’s a healthy iHop.
