The secret is a hot pan

The trick with protein pancakes is to have the pan as hot as possible before pouring on the pancake mix. Use a non stick frying pan and place the coconut oil on the pan a few minutes before the pancake mix to allow to melt and heat.

Once hot, place your batter into the pan and make large or little pancakes- whatever you fancy! Either way cook for a 3 minutes before flipping. A crisp golden brown pancake is a great pancake! It is optional to add some Blueberries to the pan whilst the pancakes are cooking. This helps to release their yummy juices and enhances their sweet flavour!

As the pancakes cook, I turn on the grill and place the remainder cooked pancakes on a hot plate to keep warm! To serve, the toppings are endless. I find melted almond or peanut butter with some berries and natural yoghurt is delicious. Finish with a drizzle of honey.

Once you have made the pancake batter, you can cook it right away or get organised and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days to use each morning!

Yummy!
