The Viral High Protein Pancake Bowl (GF, DF)
If you haven’t seen already, there’s a Pancake Bowl recipe by Brynley Joyner (who’s a favorite Youtuber of mine!) that’s been going VIRAL. Lots of people have been making it - following her recipe, creating their own that’s inspired. This is my version with a few tweaks to keep it high protein, add a little more fiber and healthy fats, and doesn’t need pancake mix because if you’re buying the better-for-you box mixes like I am that gets expensive!
Since we’re not using pancake mix, you’ll need flour to take its place to get that fluffy, pancake texture. But the best part is that you can use just about any gluten free flour! I’ve used buckwheat, oat, almond, cassava flours and they’ve each turned out so well as a 1:1 replacement without having to adjust the other ingredients too much.
This has been one of my breakfast fixations since I tried it for the first time! I love topping mine with a little coconut yogurt, fresh or warmed fruit, pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds, a drizzle of honey, and bee pollen - so good!
Ingredients:
1/2 banana (the spottier, the sweeter it will be)
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tbsp gluten free flour (I use buckwheat)
4 scoops collagen peptides (or 1 scoop protein powder)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tbsp nut milk (optional if the consistency needs to be runnier)
cinnamon and vanilla extract (optional)
toppings of choice (yogurt, berries, seeds, honey, etc.)
Recipe:
Combine everything in a microwave-safe bowl until you reach a runny pancake consistency.
Cover the bowl with a paper towel and microwave for two minutes.
Check the consistency and add another minute if needed - you want this to be firm.
Add toppings of choice and enjoy!
