Fluffy Keto Protein Pancakes - THM-Fuel-Pull (THM Baking Blend version)
A simpler version of my original THM-Fuel-Pull Protein Pancake recipe that uses THM Baking Blend.
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 6 TBS THM Baking Blend (or homemade/DIY version that I linked above)
- 3 TBS whey protein isolate (or collagen peptides)
- 1 TBS ground psyllium husks (I use NOW brand)
- 1 TBS sweetener (I use Lakanto Golden)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum or glucomannan
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Wet ingredients:
- ½ cup water
- 6 TBS egg whites (room temperature)
- ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (room temperature)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (room temperature, I use Kirkland brand)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
- Mix wet ingredients, except water, in Pyrex glass measuring cup and set in basin of hot tap water to quickly bring to room temperature.
- Stir water into dry ingredients until smooth and set timer for 5 minutes to allow ingredients to absorb/expand.
- When timer goes off, wet ingredients should be at room temperature. Stir them into the water/dry mix batter until just mixed.
- Cook at med-low setting in greased (I use Trader Joe's coconut oil cooking spray) skillet or griddle. Batter will be thick so spread just a little with back of spoon (they'll expand more as the cook). I usually cover my cast iron skillet with a lid while they cook. Flip over as soon as they start holding together on bottoms (about 2 minutes). They will then rise and expand. Once the sides/edges start feeling dry to the touch, gently remove from pan with spatula, careful to not deflate them. It's best to not let these over-cook or they won't be as fluffy. It can take a little practice but you'll get the hang of it.
- Enjoy or freeze for later!
Notes
These make about 8 pancakes, which is 2 servings of 4 pancakes each. Each serving of 4 pancakes is roughly 142 calories, 2g net carbs, 2.9g fat, and 20.8g protein.
For blueberry pancakes, add 1/2 cup blueberries (yes it'll still be FP) to a full recipe (and omit the 1/4 cup almond milk) just before frying up your pancakes.
