How to Make High Protein Pancake Bowl – Step By Step
Step 1 – Blend the Ingredients
Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond milk, mashed banana, almond butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a blender. Blend until you have a smooth batter. This blending process not only incorporates all the ingredients but also helps break down the oats, giving you a smoother pancake texture.
Step 2 – Preheat and Cook
Heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour some of the batter onto the skillet, forming a pancake. Let it cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, typically about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3 – Assemble the Bowl
Once your pancakes are cooked, begin assembling your bowl. Place the pancakes at the base of your serving bowl. You can cut them into smaller pieces for easier eating.
Step 4 – Add the Toppings
Top your pancake bowl with fresh berries of your choice. This adds a burst of color and flavor, enhancing the visual appeal and nutritional value of your dish.
How to Serve High Protein Pancake Bowl
Serve the pancake bowl immediately to enjoy it warm. You can add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter taste, but it’s optional.
Recipe Success Tips & Suggestions
- Feel free to customize the protein powder flavor according to your taste preferences.
- For added crunch, sprinkle some seeds or nuts as a topping.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly.
Elevate Your Breakfast with a Double Dose of Protein
Why compromise on taste when you can have it all with this high protein version? By choosing a protein powder that complements your desired flavor profile, you can transform this pancake bowl into a robust meal. Varieties like chocolate or vanilla protein powder can shift your breakfast into an indulgent yet healthy treat.
Go Low Carb without Sacrificing Flavor
If you’re watching your carb intake, you’ve got options! Swap the banana for a lower-carb alternative like unsweetened applesauce. This lightens up the carb load while still giving the batter its essential moisture and sweetness. You’ll barely notice the difference as your taste buds revel in sheer delight.
Storage Instructions
This pancake batter can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cooked pancakes themselves can be refrigerated for another day or so, but they’re best enjoyed fresh.
FAQs
- 1. Can I use a different type of milk? Yes, feel free to substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice.
- 2. Can the pancake batter be frozen? While the batter isn’t suitable for freezing, cooked pancakes freeze well and can be reheated as needed.
- 3. Is the protein powder necessary? The protein powder is essential for the high protein content, but can be omitted if preferred.
- 4. What if I don’t have a blender? You can mix the ingredients in a bowl, but the pancake texture might be slightly grainier.
- 5. Can I add sweeteners to the batter? Feel free to add sweeteners like honey or stevia based on your taste preference.
